We don’t need a Harvard expert to tell us that we should learn the right lessons from the corridor debacle. We should never have sold Central Maine Power to a foreign company. It shouldn’t be a surprise that its new owner would choose a route for the corridor that would maximize their profits. Although I would rather generate my grandchildren’s electricity with nuclear fusion, it doesn’t look like even Harvard is going to make that happen. What they could make happen is generate our electricity using the wind just off shore. More than enough wind is blowing both offshore and near shore to generate all the electricity that Mainers could ever use, probably enough to meet the needs of folks in Massachusetts as well. ~ James Tierney
