I don’t live in mass. And I’m not a fan of government.
What does “destroy our way of wildlife” even mean?

Natural features and it'll be the first step towards tearing down massive chunks of the western Forrested area.
I'll put it this way, maine voted to stop this problem in 2014. We continued to vote against it. It was never legally approved but now that Massachusetts is running out of power, they feel it's nessacary to overpower our decisions.
There previous project was going to go from the border of Canada, all the way to mass. They have have changed the words for congress but it doesn't mean the project has changed. It's still going to put a massive dent in our natural eco system.

53 miles is “massive chunks”?
> Much of the controversy over the project focuses on a 53-mile stretch of the corridor that would be built on working forest land between the Quebec border and the Forks in Maine. The remaining two-thirds of the project follows existing power lines created for the state’s hydroelectric industry almost a century ago.
And aside from that, you asked “can someone do anything…?” and my answer stands. Only the court can stop it.

Way to blow something way out of proportion

I would normally agree with you but why else has it been rejected for the last 6 years now.
Their original project was much more expansive than what they are claiming it to be now. I fear thus is just a sheet to keep us in the dark while they stand with their original proposition and make the line go from the border of Canada to mass. That's a much big area of coverage than just a couple acres.
It really is that big of a deal now. Regardless of how you want to try to rationalize it, the people of maine don't want that destruction in their state, and now we just don't get to have a voice anymore.

"The [Maine] Supreme Court is now forcing the citizens of the state to be okay with this...'
The ruling in no way does what you suggest it does. Try reading the link you included with the post. At least make it look as if you made an effort to understand the issue on which the Court ruled.

Go for it. What's stopping you?

I guess u/TheElevatedHero is off creating an organization 🤣
Because the Appalachian Trail Club, Sierra Club, Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, Maine Audubon Society, Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Natural Resources Council of Maine, North American Whitewater, Restore, Say No to NECEC and Trout Unlimited are just sitting on their thumbs I guess

You didn’t understand the court ruling, you didn’t know what the plan was, you dumbly think “nObOdY iZ dOiNg aNyThInG!”, you have every point of the discussion wrong and you think we’re dumb?
🤦🏻♂️

You live in Maine and feel as though we should start chopping our trees to benefit a state that has no impact on us. That sounds pretty rock like to me, but at this point, it whatever you want to believe trooper.
kmkmrod t1_iycw32e wrote
The project will benefit Maine as well.
Add a fourth thing you got wrong to your list.
TheElevatedHero t1_iycwcn6 wrote
Everyone is welcome to believe what they want. Even if it is wrong. Whether it be yourself or I.
I just feel bad for you that you still trust cmp isn't going to take this to the highest level of bs they can. I don't trust cmp, idk why you do, but I definitely feel bad for you because of it.
kmkmrod t1_iycwsqv wrote
So you think they’re going to start building the 53 mile corridor and instead just turn south and cut a hundreds-of-miles wide swath down to Mass?
Really?
TheElevatedHero t1_iycx6gn wrote
Honestly. Yes. They have been pushing for this for the last 6 years. I don't think they are going to even come close to the idea of dumping their original plans.
The fact that you just trust them because of what? Is what makes me feel bad for the future you have for yourself. The people said no, they went behind the people's back and complained. There is no chance they will stop doing that now that they saw it worked.
We live in a post consequence society. They will build the lines, they will extend too far, say sorry and then pay the penalty. They will still make way more than the penalty will cost once they open up business in mass.
kmkmrod t1_iycxo7p wrote
This might be the most ignorant post in r/Maine.
They have to go 53 miles to get to an existing power line they can follow. If they deviate from that plan there are a dozen groups (I already listed them for you) who will happily file another injunction to stop them. You believing they can ignore the approved plan and just turn south to clear cut western Maine is comical.
TheElevatedHero t1_iycxyy9 wrote
You're right, it's also comical that the people of maine voted against it for 6 years and it still went through.
Society is a joke now, so who gives a damn if you fit in with the clowns I guess. Hope you have a good life or whatever you call the corrupted morality you follow. L8tr sk8tr.

Only the court can do something to stop it.
And it won’t “destroy our way of wildlife” even if it does get built. Extremist hyperbole doesn’t help your argument.
