An important lesson from the decisive electoral blow to the CMP Corridor through passage of Question 1 is lost in the rhetoric on both sides. How can you win when everybody’s right? While opponents of the corridor can celebrate victory, Gov. Mills is right that an opportunity to improve New England access to power has been lost. We can argue the climate benefits involved. But, based on long experience across the nation, how such hard issues are approached makes a difference and requires hard, well-represented discussions, not wars of words. ~ Jack Karetz, emeritus director of the New England Environmental Finance Center and emeritus professor, Muskie School of Public Service
