Column: If only that was the end of Pine Tree Power

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • November 12, 2023

Pine Tree Power wouldn’t have done anything to affect electricity rates, service or quality. It was simply a power grab by corrupt insiders to get their hands inside our wallets and our lives. Last Tuesday’s results haven’t killed the insane Pine Tree Power idea. Instead, they simply ensured that the concept will be resurrected in the future, fought under different rules and on a different terrain. Let’s hope, when that comes to pass, that the people of Maine are smart enough to reject it again. ~ Jim Fossel
