Opinion: Bringing hydropower to New England

SUN JOURNAL • August 2, 2020

Climate change is real and has been a topic of discourse for centuries. The question is “how fast is our climate changing?” because we can adapt, as long as change is slow. After measuring greenhouse gas emissions from a variety of sources it was concluded that fossil fuels were the primary culprit and an effort to curb their use began. CMP and HydroQuebec were asked to help New England do that by bringing hydroelectric power to Maine’s grid, which is unquestionably cleaner in that regard. ~ Jamie Beaulieu, Farmington
