Letter: Vote on corridor didn’t make sense

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • November 14, 2021

I still do not understand the idea that the CMP power corridor will spoil the attractiveness or nature of the western Maine forests. Or the continued use of the phrase “clear cut,” as if they planned to strip western Maine of trees. Much of the route follows an existing power line, more is through working (clear cut?) forest and only one mile crossed “sacred” public lands. Once the oil company-financed furor passed, almost no one would have noticed any difference in the north woods while the increase hydropower will help slow the disastrous effects of climate change. ~ Harvey Verseeg, Augusta
