The honorable mayor of Lewiston gave a heart-wrenching plea for Central Maine Power’s corridor in a speech seemingly orchestrated by CMP itself.
I empathize with Lewiston’s fiscal woes and understand that CMP’s substation generates helpful financial relief to taxpayers and supports necessary municipal services.
However, the speech’s touted climate benefits, much resembling CMP’s false advertising for the corridor, were mischievously skewed. Truthfully, environmental experts, including Massachusetts’ attorney general, testified there is no reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions or scientifically-proven climate benefits from the transmission line itself.
“Reducing carbon emissions through investing in . . . e-cars and heat pumps” is not worth the destruction of forest, wildlife habitat, the biomass/forestry and tourism industries not to mention Maine’s brand.
