Over the recent years, we have lost many important industries and businesses in our state. A major reason for these labor-intensive businesses leaving Maine is the high cost of electricity. A major means of supplying electricity have been the dams with turbines. So what do we do? We tear out the dams so fish can go upstream. I think we need to stop doing this and put larger and more turbines at these dams. ~ Richard Leonard, Veazie
