The CMP corridor was a flawed project from the beginning, with high voltage lines plowing through 53 miles of forests and disturbing streams and remote ponds, all in an effort to supply power that upon closer inspection is not as “green” as promoted to be. We need more truly clean energy transmitted by a more sensible grid that knits together diverse sources of clean power. It’s heartening to witness the rapid growth of solar across the state and the recent advancements for offshore wind, as well as discussions of a reconfigured and reliable grid that serves Maine efficiently and effectively. These are projects that I can get behind. ~ Anne Winchester, Pemaquid
