Central Maine Power (CMP) spent $5.045 million in the first three months of 2020 and a total of $7.23 million since October 2019 on its desperate campaign to protect massive future profits from a proposed 145-mile transmission line that would deliver electricity from Quebec to Massachusetts, including through 53 miles of western Maine forestlands. Polls show that the vast majority of Mainers are opposed to the proposal, and CMP has failed to demonstrate the project would result in an actual reduction of carbon pollution.
