<p>It offers grid stability, adequacy, and reliability at a 20 yr. contract. </p>
<p>It's GREEN in the sense it will curb the need for more wind and solar farms that are grid tied; and in the sense that if you look at the damage to the forest from wind/solar farms that can match its carrying capacity, you're trading off one corridor for many.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">While this is about whitewater rafters, this project will not effect "climate change" in the least, in fact it will more than likely raise CO2 levels, thought that is a farce. Besides that, it is to be shipped to Massachusetts, Conn and RI. Maine has enough power production for our current population and we are NOT part of the power purchase. </span></p>

<p>A handful of vocal whitewater rafting and kayaking advocates and businesses are attacking a project which won't affect their sport/business, but will reduce the cost and reliability of energy for hundreds of thousands of Mainers and businesses.</p>
