From Ellsworth to the east end, we were out early for the most important climate vote in the country. Truly nothing better than a 5 AM lit drop on Election Day! Happy voting #YesOn3 #MEPolitics

Maine is about to vote on the most radical utility policy in the country right now: phasing out for-profit utilities and replacing with Pine Tree Power, a new, community-owned nonprofit that focuses on customer satisfaction and climate action canarymedia.com/articles/uti…

When you vote today, don't forget to vote YES on Question 3! Its time for Maine to have local control of our power company...and vote out CMP & Versant. #YesOn3 #PineTreePower

My take:
“Much of the effort to defeat #Question3, the @PineTreePower_ referendum is focused on fear…fear of our own power, meaning our own ability to self-govern, be inventive, and be self-reliant on #Maine brain power.”

Mainers will vote on replacing for-profit utilities with public power. Organizers of the ballot initiative hope to improve service and speed up the shift to clean energy by taking profits out of the utility sector.

My editorial on Q3 was rightfully lost in yesterday’s news, I hope you will take a few minutes to read it before you vote:
“Much of the effort to defeat #Question3, the @PineTreePower_ referendum is focused on fear…fear of our own power…”

Importantly, @PineTreePower_ would allow Mainers to drive ambitious climate action across the state. Advocates stress that a public utility will better decarbonize and enhance the grid with greater access to low-cost capital and accountability to Maine voters.

Maine's big power companies have spent over $35 million to fight being bought-out by the public.
Advocates for a community run electric company have raised just $1 million.
In 2 weeks Maine voters will choose whether or not the public should run their power companies.

YES ON 3! Thank you @MainePublic for this look into the secretive, expensive campaign to turn Maine voters against @PineTreePower_ #PineTreePower #PowerToThePeople #MEPolitics #Maine #EnergyEfficiency #VoteOutCMP #VoteOutVersant mainepublic.org/politics/202…

“We don’t have any sort of control over these anonymous corporate ghosts who run things from the top.” Maine wheat farmer & local legend Richard Roberts endorses @PineTreePower_’s effort to create a consumer-owned utility in Maine. #YesOn3
Pine Tree Power retweeted
Maine CANNOT count on profit-driven, investor-owned utilities to address our unstable power grid or boost reliability.
A YES to Question 3 will rid Maine of its biggest anti-climate lobbyists ( @versantpower + CMP) & allow @PineTreePower_ to advance our clean energy goals
In November, Mainers will vote on whether they want Pine Tree Power — a consumer-owned nonprofit utility — to replace the investor-owned utilities. Advocates say the result of the vote could have ripple effects across the country. trib.al/9HRfskQ

Our opponents have increased their big budget misinformation campaign to scare Mainers out of owning their energy future. But the facts are this: By voting #YesOn3, you’re voting yes for savings, reliable power, and local control.

Clint worked for CMP for 40 years and is voting YES on Question 3 to create a Mainer-owned power company that works for us, not distant shareholders. #YesOn3 #PineTreePower
Pine Tree Power retweeted
Great initiative for our neighbors in Maine to get corporate owned utilities out of the state and put the power back in the hands of residents with @PineTreePower_ , a new statewide nonprofit and consumer owned utility company.
Mainers all over the state are voting Yes on Question 3 because they’re done with CMP and Versant taking advantage of us.
