Who cares what the voters want -- it's all about what BIG CORPORATIONS want! Destroy #Maine forests to provide energy for #Massachusetts? Why not build the damn line through the #Berkshires? Oh, because rich New Yorkers live there!

Voters said no, but developers have right to finish $1B Maine power line, jury says

The decision could be appealed to the state Supreme Judicial Court for the final say

"The Natural Resources Council of Maine, which opposes the power line, said in a statement on Thursday that it was disappointed in the outcome and remains , 'sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.'

"'We’re pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like utility-scale #solar, #OffshoreWind, and the #KingPine wind project in #Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in #pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum #corporate profit,' the council said."
