Thorn Dickinson

Ray and Loren Fields are joined in studio by Thorn Dickinson of AVANGRID. He is here to help dispel some of the myths and scare tactics that have been put out there. Ray asks about the myth that the weed killer Roundup will be used. Thorn is able to explain how they will be keeping down the overgrowth. They also talk about how Gov. Mills has done her due diligence to find out for herself the pros and cons of this project. Mainers will also be getting energy from the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC). The Commission voted to grant Central Maine Power’s petition for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for its proposal to build an electric transmission line from the Maine/Quebec border to Lewiston, Maine.
