In a July 3 letter to the editor, Elizabeth Caruso wrote about how Mainers deserve scientific facts about the Clean Energy Corridor project. Indeed, they do. They also deserve honesty, which is missing from Ms. Caruso’s letter. The claims she made about the project have been disproven throughout the Clean Energy Corridor’s 30-plus-month regulatory review of the project by impartial, publicly accountable agencies. The Clean Energy Corridor has been thoroughly vetted and approved by experts. By trying to keep that a secret, oil and gas companies, along with project opponents, are being dishonest toward Mainers, and as such pose a great threat to Maine’s natural environment. ~ Lynn St-Laurent, Hydro-Québec, Montreal, Québec
