I write in response to a letter from a Hydro-Quebec spokesman about the corridor project with Central Maine Power. It’s nice of them to finally show up. Since this power is already being sold to Massachusetts along existing lines, this isn’t new “clean” energy, and would have no impact on climate change. Why they have refused to appear to answer questions during the permitting process and before the Maine Legislature? Why is HQ, a company solely owned by the Canadian government, using a loophole in Maine’s campaign finance laws to funnel millions into a campaign to influence Maine voters? Finally, I would like HQ to say whether they think the people of Maine should have the right to vote on their for-profit project ~ Theresa York, Farmington
