NECEC is a for-profit project that will make two foreign corporations billions upon billions of dollars. It has nothing to do with combating the serious issue of global warming, and it is not in the best interest of Maine to allow Hydro-Quebec to flood our New England grid with its environmentally and ethically dirty energy, at the bidding of Massachusetts. That’s why as lawmakers and concerned Maine citizens, we would urge our fellow colleagues to join us in the bipartisan effort to do what’s best for our great state. Mainers want to have the opportunity to vote on the controversial project in a statewide referendum. Our constituents expect nothing less. ~ Sen. Richard A. Bennett (R-Oxford) and Rep. Nicole Grohoski (D-Ellsworth)
