PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 29, 2023
In a rush to save planet Earth, we are neglecting non-human residents and probably creating more environmental degradation. Recently whales have been washing up along the East Coast. I can only imagine what effect offshore wind machines will have on marine mammals such as the endangered right whale. As if that wasn’t enough, we have the so-called clean corridor cutting a path through the western mountains of Maine and a proposed wind project in northeast Maine that will require a similar clear cut down the eastern side of our beautiful state, all to send electricity to Massachusetts. Sounds like trouble for the environment, both marine and shore-based. ~ Leo H. Mazerall Jr., Stockton Springs
