The New England Clean Energy Connect, which will bring hydropower from Quebec to Maine and the New England grid, is a dream come true. This project will provide incredible economic stimulus to parts of western Maine, where it is desperately needed. It will create thousands of good-paying jobs over the next several years. The NECEC will not cost Mainers a penny. It will provide us with sustainable clean energy for decades to come. If we are to reduce the carbon footprint in our state, we need to stop relying on fossil fuels. It is an economic opportunity too good to pass up. ~ Cal Brown, Litchfield
