Opinion: Corridor project dangerous, unfair, misleading

SUN JOURNAL • October 9, 2021

It’s no surprise that Avangrid, the international corporation that owns CMP, is spending millions of dollars on misleading commercials. They’ve been misleading Mainers since Day One, and I’m sure with the amount of wilderness they are hacking down in the West Forks, they have plenty of paper to go around. What is shocking to me is their use of “unfair” and “dangerous” in these advertisements. Is the corridor not “dangerous” for the Maine environment and the countless species that it hosts? We have seen several studies of the ways in which this project is detrimental to countless habitats, rivers and streams. The only thing that is unfair and dangerous, I am sure, is New England Clean Energy Connect’s green energy scam that it continuously tries to force down Mainers’ throats. ~ Chelsea Washburn, Durham
