Dear Maine and Massachusetts Decision Makers,

We urge you to deny Central Maine Power’s (CMP’s) applications for its New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project because this proposed transmission line would be bad for the people of Maine and Massachusetts and our economy and environment.

CMP’s proposal is designed to provide big benefits to CMP shareholders and Hydro-Québec at the expense of New England. This harmful proposal would:

Cut a brand new, 53-mile-long corridor across Maine’s western mountains, harming forests, streams, wetlands, wildlife, and scenic beauty;

Suppress the development of clean renewable energy (like wind and solar) in Maine, which would provide greater economic and environmental benefits; and

Fail to reduce climate change emissions, and could even increase them.

Please reject CMP’s NECEC proposal. Its costs to our people and environment are too great. Maine and Massachusetts deserve better.

Sincerely,

Stephen Bellavia, Albion, Maine Charles Byrne, North Berwick, Maine Susan Hill, Belfast, Maine Mark Lena, Orono, Maine Erica Berman, Newcastle, Maine Sharon Behrends, Alton, Maine David Thibodeau, Portland, Maine Jean Preis, Bridgton, Maine Robert Dawson, Cape Elizabeth, Maine Joanne Fedorocko, South Portland, Maine Jonathan Chappell, Bridgton, Maine Sharon Wilbraham, Bath, Maine

We must move forward with clean energy; taking steps backwards makes 0 sense in my opinion. Natalia Klimova, Bath, Maine Mili Wright, Orono, Maine Amy Smith, Arrowsic, Maine Mark Koenig, Farmingdale, Maine Celeste Turner, Chelsea, Maine

Thank you NRCM for keeping us informed. Emery Deabay, Bucksport, Maine June Romeo, Lubec, Maine

Why destroy the beauty that draws tourists to Maine as well as interfering with wildlife and our beautiful environment ? I am a registered voter and I vote . Thank you for your consideration.

CMP seriously needs to regroup and start working for the people of Maine and cut ties with all foreign investors!

I divide my time between Massachusetts and Maine, and this is a terrible idea for both, not to mention the world. I especially think of the native peoples of Quebec, whose lives are often turned upside-down by Hydro Quebec.

I agree, this would harm our environment. Obviously, it does some good for somebody, what is that good thing it will achieve? Need to see both sides of the picture. James Sosa, Pembroke, Maine

I oppose the CMP transmission line because it offers no benefit to the people of Maine who need relief from high energy pricing. Furthermore I oppose the impact of the line right of way on the Maine environment. Leslie Burhoe, Wayne, Maine

Joan Atkinson, Vassalboro, Maine Glen Bridges, Freedom, Maine Monika Kirtland, Portland, Maine Joanne Dunlap, Rangeley, Maine

NH said no, we can too!

Gordon Canning, Dexter, Maine

The beauty of this state and the areas of unspoiled wilderness are what attracts tourists and also new residents to this state. You keep chopping away at the unspoiled areas and eventually you lose what brings many people and their money to Maine. Peopl David May, Scarborough, Maine

This project has no benefit to Maine citizens and has a negative environmental impact. It should be rejected for its lack of merit. Sally A Merchant, Spruce Head, Maine Carl Little, Mount Desert, Maine Mabel Hidden, Brownfield, Maine Marsha Dulac-Swain, Augusta, Maine

Citizens need easy and affordable access to solar energy, please. Anneliese Schultz, Gray, Maine Stephen Munier, Topsham, Maine Mark Nyborg, Sullivan, Maine

CMP is a public utility... or should be! I believe they are owned by investors in the middle East,, They have no conscience or interest in the best for Maine citizens. Public utilities should be for the good and sole good of the people of Maine, not ' Veronica Dudar, Portland, Maine Ronald Ross, Boothbay, Maine Sharon Balzer, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

This is un-necessary. One, you can find a route that is not so 'fresh', not a new cut. And, two, we do not want this to supply Southern New England. We want you to invest in renewable energies, grid for the state of Maine. Anonymous, Northport, Maine

This project would do far more harm than good. It should be abandoned for much better alternatives. Jackie Moreau, Portland, Maine Lewis Turco, Dresden, Maine Judith Ekholm, Whitefield, Maine Jean Lincoln, Kittery, Maine

Diana Sholtz, West Bath, Maine Central Maine Power seems to have forgotten its middle name. Reportedly, during the all

too long power outage in October, CMP trucks were being hired out to other states, leaving Mainers literally in the dark (myself for 7 days). Now, this! Central Deborah Bastian, New Gloucester, Maine Peggy Drake, Steuben, Maine Brian Goldburg, North Yarmouth, Maine Elery Keene, Winslow, Maine Lawrence Boyle, Biddeford, Maine Linda Kingdon, Vassalboro, Maine

This line would hurt rather than benefit Maine. It would destroy some of the beauty of western Maine and, as a result, would have a negative impact upon the tourism economy.

Ellen Brouillet, Berwick, Maine Kirk Fernald, East Millinocket, Maine Bob Foster, South Portland, Maine Gillian Iltis, Chamberlain, Maine

It is unconscionable that Mainers would be expected to be deprived of natural habitat for this project, with absolutely no return whatsoever! Dusty Post, Brunswick, Maine

I'm generally kindly-disposed towards CMP, but in this case there seems to be no recommendation to Maine citizens to do this at all. I own property in western Maine, and don't want to see this happen. Lynn Gray, Limerick, Maine Joan Morrison, Charleston, Maine

MEPCO's 345kV line is planned to bisect our small village of Charleston. Now CMP has plans to alter the woods and rivers of western Maine, again to feed the energy hungry southern New England.

We need decentralized power, and local power, not power lines that don’t serve Mainers. William Luneburg, Cape Elizabeth, Maine Michael Bowman, Cornville, Maine Jamie Phillips, Portland, Maine Ellen Rice, Brunswick, Maine Pete Marston, Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Offshore wind and tidal power is the solution for Massachusetts renewable mandates. It is not buying hydro-electric from Canada at Maine's environmental sacrifice. Kate Lauzon, Old Orchard Beach, Maine Virginia Thorp, Yarmouth, Maine Matt Richwalder, Kennebunk, Maine Joy Kaplan, Cumberland, Maine Peter Verrill, Falmouth, Maine Jon Bailey, Cornish, Maine

Elton Drummond, Cumberland Center, Maine Chris Walker, Bryant Pond, Maine Robert Lauzon, Old Orchard Beach, Maine Brian Plowman, Gorham, Maine

George Terrien, Rockland, Maine Let's get our priorities straight, CMP: before constructing 'extension chords,' support

decentralized PV generation and microgrids, stop imposing costs on citizens who are 'doing the right thing' for our environment, and stop purchasing self-serving vote Jennifer Muehle, Portland, Maine Jeffrey Kobrock, Gardiner, Maine Kelsey Macomber, Lisbon, Maine Catherine Wolinsky, Freeport, Maine Frank Merritt, Sebago, Maine Jared Peters, Augusta, Maine Asa Korsen, Bath, Maine Jessica Shaffer, Belmont, Maine

This project provides no clear benefit to Maine and would serve as a detriment to the environment and conservation efforts in our state. In addition, CMP has demonstrated a lack of transparency and sound business practices in the recent (and ongoing) over Amy LeVasseur, East Waterboro, Maine Zack Yates, Scarborough, Maine Joan Newton, South Berwick, Maine

This project's process put the cart before the horse, offering us no clear data. At this point, we should support only those projects that are developed in a transparent and inclusive manner, whose clearly established data supports the essential reduction Denise Michaud, South Portland, Maine

It's time for alternative, sustainable, non-impacting energy resources - and that includes the delivery systems. Bernard Huebner, Waterville, Maine Craig Anthony, Milo, Maine

Thanks, but no thanks. Jennifer Noll, Vassalboro, Maine Kristina Gossman, Norridgewock, Maine

Our state is moving towards renewable energy. We do not want to stay stuck in that past at the expense of our wildlife and natural habitats. I strongly oppose this proposal from CMP!

Karen Davidson, Gorham, Maine CMP has shown itself to be solely interested in profit from the project which is what the

transmission line is all about. Do not get swayed by palliative comments about helping the environment or reaching agreement to lessen intrusion of the lines. Their Andrew Graham, South China, Maine

The proposed transmission line is yet another big money grab by CMP and it's shareholders. CMP has never really served the interests of Maine customers. Their guiding principal is maximizing profits at the expense of it's customer base. Nicholas Rosenblum, Portland, Maine David Perry, Winslow, Maine

Here is where your rate hikes go to trying to put more money in their pockets and ruining a perfectly good stretch of forest Thanks for nothing cmp Donna Wheeler, Farmington, Maine

Maine and Massachusetts can do better. This is NOT clean energy. Its production in Canada is not environmentally sound. Maine will be 'used' and get little or no benefit. The people in this region do not want CMP's mitigation offers. They live in the area Patricia Davis, Augusta, Maine Gail Lange, Industry, Maine

This line provides no benefit to Maine people. This proposal uses old technology for energy. My land is adjacent to the proposed power line. David Hedrick, Waterville, Maine

The corridor would permanently scar a forest land and rivers and streams that are assets for Maine’s substantial tourism industry.

Joshua Sturtevant, Dresden, Maine Do not put a power line corridor through the western mountains of Maine! This would

Chris Norton, Falmouth, Maine

It’s unnecessary to sacrifice the treasured Maine wilderness, impact migratory birds, animals, deer and moose habitat, so that CMP can make money and Massachusetts can import power from Canada.
