Do Pine Tree Power backers really think that things would have been different with a consumer-owned utility? How would Pine Tree Power have prevented all the trees from falling and snapping power lines during a hurricane force wind and rain storm? I think I have figured out how they would have accomplished this. Prior to the storm at their headquarters, they would have pushed a button and an invisible shield would have sprung up and covered the whole state of Maine until the storm passed over, thus preventing the massive power outages that occurred. We live in a state covered by trees. Trees are going to fall. Power is going to go out. Think about the people right now in the Middle East and Ukraine and what they are going through. Three to five days without power? Not a big deal. ~ Donald Fournier, Waterville
