There are concerns about the rush to fill Maine’s waters with industrial-scale offshore wind power. Meanwhile, our hydro dams have all but been systematically decommissioned as our landscapes and mountain ridges are ruined by wind and solar farms. Now comes the proposed takeover of Maine’s power grid. I sincerely hope Mainers don’t fall for it. Do they plan to eliminate the Public Utilities Commision after the takeover? I wonder how responsive the consumer-owned utility would be during power outages. Don’t fall for it, and please stop offshore wind. ~ Renee K. Trust, Franklin
