Environmental groups are appealing a federal judge’s decision to allow the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Energy to continue construction of the New England Clean Energy Connect corridor — a controversial 145-mile electricity transmission line through western Maine.
Chief U.S. District Judge Lance Walker ruled in favor of the federal agencies last month after the groups sued them for not thoroughly assessing the environmental impacts of the transmission line, which will span 53 miles of forest to bring power from hydroelectric dams in Quebec through Lewiston.

That line would serve only one purpose, as a subsidy for Owners of wind and solar systems so they can profit from delivering highly subsidized, expensive, environmentally destructive, intermittent/variable, unreliable wind and solar electricity to southern New England states where the rich investors are and where the electricity is used

CO2 is a wonderful gas.
