How do we make a decision on the Pine Tree Power referendum? There are three certainties. One certainty is extended complex litigation, perhaps extending 10 years or more. Another certainty is that we must quadruple our supply of clean energy. We have an incredible amount already on our plate. A third certainty is that Central Maine Power and Versant aren’t going to accelerate or finance the clean-energy transition while the litigation rolls forward. We are already behind the climate eight-ball and cannot afford to add additional layers of complexity and delay. Vote “no” on the Pine Tree Power referendum. ~ Daniel Amory, Portland
