There are many regulatory checkpoints at which the proposed LS Power line could be derailed — including contract negotiations between the major players — not to mention by action from the Maine Legislature and the Maine Judicial Branch. I hope this project succeeds and is narrowly tailored to do as little harm as practical to the environment and affected Mainers, keeping in mind that “perfect” is not an option and “ideal” is not commensurate with the challenges our electric grid faces. But LS has a long road ahead with many potential barriers. ~ Tyler Hadyniak, chair, Freedom Planning Board
