Letter: NECEC ‘worse than a bad deal’ for state

SUN JOURNAL • February 11, 2021

If CMP were actually interested in hiring Mainers to work on the unpopular New England Clean Energy Connect project, it wouldn’t have contracted Northern Clearing out of Wisconsin to clear the corridor. I just don’t buy their repeated promises of “Mainers first.” People on the fence about the corridor need to wake up and realize that NECEC is the project of a Spain-owned company, which has  partnered with Canadian government-owned Hydro-Quebec. These foreign corporations have one common interest: money. The corridor is worse than a bad deal for Maine. ~ Peter Mckeown, Turner
