I keep hearing from opponents of NECEC there is no benefit to Mainers and that Massachusetts only will reap its rewards. That is utterly ridiculous. The Clean Energy Corridor will pump more than 1,000 megawatts of hydropower into Maine and New England from Quebec. When this amount of any type energy is brought into the New England grid, the effects are obvious — bills go down for Maine ratepayers. There is also a significant amount of property tax revenue that will be generated for towns along the corridor of the project to fund local projects. I strongly encourage all Mainers to get behind NECEC. ~ Connie Craven, Corinna
