DAILY BULLDOG • November 8, 2022
When the effort to kill the NECEC by referendum got underway it was almost entirely funded by the New England Power Generators, to the tune of $27 million, so it’s not unreasonable to assume it was designed to benefit them. Mainers for Local Power, Say No to the NECEC, No CMP Corridor, and the Natural Resources Council of Maine all received funding from them, through one means or another. Their goal remains to kill the NECEC. I’ve called their arguments pseudo-environmentalist because they’re supported by generators who will continue to pump out carbon so long as our efforts to address fossil-fuels emissions in this sector are stalled. ~ Jamie Beaulieu, Farmington, Maine
