For those who oppose the additional one mile, 300-foot-wide section of public land for the power line needed to provide clean, renewable, efficient energy from Canada to the grid, one must consider the approximately 10 million acres of unorganized territory of which a tiny fraction of wilderness area would be occupied by the total line. The big elephant in the room is the huge amount of land that is embraced by the many ineffective, wasteful, taxpayer-funded solar farms that drastically reduce the acreage of available wilderness. ~ Joe Bertolaccini, Orrington
