Letter: Don’t change the nature of Sears Island

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 12, 2024

I recently visited the Searsport facility of Sprague Energy. My opinion was reinforced by that visit that Mack Point is a far better location for the wind port than is Sears Island. In fact, Sprague is currently handling hundreds of wind generator components, which are being hauled to Washington County for the wind farm in Columbia. Don’t give me the argument that it’s only 100 acres. I think the entire nature of the island and access to it would be ruined. ~ Harold Shaw, Penobscot
