Penobscot Nation opposes CMP transmission project

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 28, 2020

The Penobscot Nation is coming out in opposition to Central Maine Power’s proposed transmission line through Maine’s western woods. Penobscot Natural Resources Director John Banks said the tribe is in solidarity with Canada’s Innu Nation, whose lands in Labrador have been damaged by decades of flooding to serve energy projects by Hydro-Quebec.
