Again, it's not nepotism if voters vote you in on name recognition

He was voted in so it's not nepotism. Name recognition got him those votes.

And for those who are incapable of interjecting their own assumptions into things...I'm not defending him, just clarifying that that's not what nepotism is

Raymond is their only location

Sounds like an interesting place but a shit company and work environment

That is exactly NOT at all what I am supporting. I don't know what mental gyrations you had to go though to get to that conclusion but you are 100% wrong

Explain yourself please? What do you think I think is OK?

I'm a mod here, you're being an asshole and trolling. Last warning

Quit being an asshole. You've been made aware it was an accident, the owner responded properly and it's being handled by the responsible authorities. Give me a reason to mute you and I will

Hyperbole much?

Yes, and that's valid

I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing on the discussion, however the point of a solar farm is to generate renewable electricity, not to save nature

If you want to see Canadian men in banana hammocks smuggling grapes...Old Orchard Beach in the summer

This is the best answer

Northern Maine is basically Canada

You're a fucking troll - new account loaded with provocative comments. Test lightly. This is your first warning

well that's your problem then

Drugs and guns fuel the proletariat.
Fucking freedom indeed

Who said anything was wrong with guns?

It doesn't undermine the state liquor stores in the slightest

I thought freedom involved guns? 'murca and all that

It's easy to speculate and blow steam on Reddit

PUBLIC utilities are beholden to the state on behalf of the public. They know what their costs are. Who is going to pay for this study?

Let's say that they are off by half. That's still $8 or 9 BILLION dollars. Who do you think is going to foot the bill for this?

I'm a born skeptic and a cynic, but at some point it's just plain silly

It's cost prohibitive - after the 2009 ice storm, where 400,00 NH residents lost power, WMUR did a short story on burying lines. Back then the cost was about $17 billion.

"...cleaning up from the ice storm cost the utilities about $80 million, enough to bury about 100 miles of line. It would take the cost of the damage from 90 similar ice storms to pay for burying half of the state's power lines."

Has anyone mentioned that wet, heavy, sticky snow (like we are getting right now) on the lines themselves can take them down? That's just a fact and no amount of tree maintenance can do a thing about it
