Letter: Pine Tree Power would be a disaster

MORNING SENTINEL • January 15, 2023

If Pine Tree Power seizes Central Maine Power and Versant, politicians will be in full control of the new government-owned utility and under enormous pressure to cut costs. People like me — who work hard every day so electricity is delivered safely — could lose our jobs. Hundreds of us who are trained to operate the electric grid could be deemed irrelevant, even at this critical time of increased electrification and worsening storms. ~ Dan Washburn, Winslow, Central Maine Power employee
