Letter: Maine could learn from New Hampshire’s power line experience

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 12, 2021

Although seldom mentioned during all the heated discussion these past months, the 2018 New Hampshire rejection of the proposed Northern Pass transmission line relates to Maine. The New Hampshire route proposed by Eversource and Hydro-Quebec was Massachusetts’ first choice. It was not Maine. And the New Hampshire landscape surgery was to be mostly underground, which would seem better than the approach proposed for Maine. Eversource appealed the New Hampshire decision. They lost. ~ Charlie Galloway, Kennebunk
