Letter: Pine Tree power offers Mainers ‘real power’ over electricity

SUN JOURNAL • March 10, 2022

We’ve got the chance right now to take control of our electricity. How? With the Pine Tree Power Company, a consumer-owned utility. “Consumer owned” means that it would be governed by a board that we elect, accountable to us. Pine Tree Power would also be not for profit, so everything we pay would stay in-state. CMP and Versant are doing everything they can to scare us away from Pine Tree Power. Their message — that a consumer owned utility would be under government control — is a lie. People should not be fooled. Pine Tree Power offers us real power over our electricity. Let’s take it. ~ Sorrel Dunn, Harrison
