Behind every energy policy decision is a struggle between fossil fuels dependent providers who wish to ignore the negative impacts those fuels have and people working to undo the damage they’ve done by introducing more hydro, nuclear, solar, and wind generated energy. It’s often unclear who is who these days because advertisers and scientists working for the fossil fuels industry continue to add disinformation to the equation. We’re witnessing an all out battle for energy dominance. The NECEC remains an option, even if it was defeated once. It was approved several times before that happened because the hydroelectric facilities it was to connect to our grid would serve as a battery so we weren’t required to maintain generation capacity that relies on fossil fuels when solar and wind aren’t producing. ~ Jamie Beaulieu, Farmington, Maine
