Maybe if they brought some of that cheap green energy to us we wouldn’t have shot down the corridor.

Maine has the most unreliable power grid in the country, CMP is hated, and the lease was an (illegal) joke. $4,000 a year and no jobs.

Then you would like that "Gov. Janet Mills received a commitment from Hydro-Quebec to directly sell enough discounted energy in Maine each year to run 70,000 homes."
Nah fuck CMP.

You know what’s also bad for the environment, hundreds of thousands of Mainers powering their homes with diesel/propane generators for weeks every year because CMP and Versant are running the most unreliable power grid in the country.

My power is usually out for 4-6 weeks a year. My rooftop solar can cover my needs during the summer, but winter I have to use a propane generator
