Power Struggle in the Maine Woods
Special | 7m 34s
CMP proposed a controversial new high-voltage transmission line through western Maine.
Central Maine Power says if its transmission project in western Maine is approved, Mainers will see lower electric bills, among other things. But there will be winners and losers, and environmentalists have a hard choice to make. On one hand, the proposal would bring low-polluting hydroelectricity into New England, and on the other, it could have serious scenic and environmental consequences.
