My career as a state wildlife biologist, executive director of the Maine Audubon Society and commissioner of the Maine Department of Conservation was concurrent with the environmental movement taking root in the public consciousness and in our laws. From the start, good science and reliable fact-finding were foundations of our movement, one that is this month marking 51 years of Earth Day. So, it troubles me to see core environmental values of truth give way to distortion and falsehood when it comes to the Clean Energy Corridor. Those who mischaracterize the corridor as crossing untouched wilderness either do not know the truth or willfully ignore it. ~ Richard Anderson, Portland
