A recent letter, “NECEC will help reduce impacts of climate change in Maine” (Dec. 9), completely missed the mark. The very first sentence references a recent climate report put out by the Mills administration as an example of why New England Clean Energy Connect is “needed.” The climate report doesn’t mention CMP’s unpopular project a single time. or this project to have any impact on carbon emissions, the power would have to come from a new source. This project simply shifts existing power from Canadian markets to the New England market so Hydro-Quebec, and CMP, can make billions. ~ William Schmidt, Pownal
