Letter: Let common sense drive CMP corridor project

SUN JOURNAL • January 10, 2021

We need to look closely at the Central Maine Power corridor project. We need to use our own resources. Water power has been the reason we’ve had all the mills that fueled our growth. The dams have been on our rivers for generations, and the environment has adapted. We need to look at our dams not as an enemy but as a barrier from the invasion of viruses and germs. With all our resources, we could be energy independent. We should be careful not to over-embrace solar power because a scientist said global warming will create more cloudiness. Let’s not have money be the driving force on the project, but common sense. ~ Patricia Bernard, Lewiston
