Maine's Radical Solution to the Energy Crisis

Maine residents will vote this November on whether to create the first statewide consumer-owned utility in the country. They're facing skyrocketing electricity bills and frequent power outages, while the corporate utilities (CMP and Versant) that dominate the state brought in $187 million in profit last year. Both the companies are owned by foreign entities. Residents are organizing to take power back into their own hands — literally. A ballot measure on the November ballot could create the consumer-owned utility non-profit Pine Tree Power, and put it under community control. We talked with residents about what this would mean for them. ----- More Perfect Union is a new nonprofit media org with a mission to empower working people.
