Foreign companies could make millions, while destroying Maine's forest in the name of green energy

'Tucker Carlson Originals' investigates how a green energy plan in Maine could destroy thousands of acres of the largest continuous forest east of the Mississippi.
Hydro-Quebec and Central Maine Power (CMP), two foreign energy companies, are proposing a 100-mile corridor through Maine’s north woods to carry green energy from Canada to Massachusetts. The scheme would make the power companies millions, but according to former Maine State Senator Dr. Tom Saviello, Mainers would only get about $10 a month. In a $20 million lobbying and ad campaign, CMP promised residents jobs and an economic boom through tax revenue. But according to Caratuk, Main Selectperson Elizabeth Caruso, "CMP has a habitual practice of over-projecting their tax revenues. After the project is built, they present a declaration of assessment that is far below what they projected to the towns in order to get their permits."More Related News
