PINE TREE POWER
Consumer-Owned Power Could Slash Your Electric Bill

This could change everything.

Maine residents will vote this November on whether to create the first statewide consumer-owned utility in the country.
They're facing skyrocketing electricity bills and frequent power outages, while the corporate utilities (CMP and Versant) that dominate the state brought in $187 million in profit last year. Both the companies are owned by foreign entities.
Residents are organizing to take power back into their own hands — literally. A ballot measure on the November ballot could create the consumer-owned utility non-profit Pine Tree Power, and put it under community control.

We talked with residents about what this would mean for them.

Maybe we should be funding this type of ecological farming in some of our humid southern states.
