Sure, but that doesn't equate to suffering. Presumably there's some deal that Maine would find amendable.
(Besides: Maine is has a heavily forested, virtually unpopulated interior. It's not clear to me that a HVDC line would represent a significant potential usage cost.)
- dahfizz 4y agoThe people of Maine would disagree (obviously, since they did). Forests don't exist to build over. New Englanders like their forests.
- woodruffw 4y agoThese aren’t incompatible positions: New York is both densely forested, and has an extensive interstate electricity network running through it. You wouldn’t know it unless you went looking for the lines (which I have!). (Nothing exists “to be built over.” The only question is whether we can build a thing and whether it’s appropriate to do so.)
