I can't even believe it has gotten this far towards being removed ??? Never mind the power issue, what an eye sore the removal project would be.

All I can say is thank you SOS for delaying the destruction until the BS dust settles and we have to actually weigh all the consequences.

This is good news. Maybe something can be worked out so that Essex Hydro will be offered the dam by FPLE? Essex is willing to install a fish lift and operate the dam. Clean energy and fish passage. That should be in the best interest of everyone. How about it Kennebec Coalition? Why don't you agree to go back to the bargaining table on this??? Isn't fish passage what you want? Or, is it really dam removal you are after???report abuseCynical

What is more important? Having alewives in the river or continuing to produce clean, renewable energy. Let the fish wait until alternative energy sources are fully developed. If they can come back up the river now, they'll come back 20-50 years from now, when hydroelectric power is no longer needed.report abuse
