Letter to the editor: Say ‘yes’ to green hydropower and NECEC
Share
For whatever reason, we Mainers say “no” a lot. I urge my fellow Pine Tree State residents to say “yes” to green hydropower and the New England Clean Energy Connect.
Hydropower is hardly some new, experimental concept. Maine has a great history with hydropower. In fact, we have the most hydropower of any state east of the Mississippi.
However, over the last several decades, we’ve become increasingly reliant on oil and gas from out-of-state companies. Maine is more dependent on petroleum to power our businesses and homes than any other New England state. Let’s diversify our sources of energy with clean, renewable hydroelectric power from the New England Clean Energy Connect and reduce our oil dependence.
