The Maine PUC's conclusion that NECEC would prevent the release of 3 million metric tons of GHG emissions per year ignores peer-reviewed science from independent and Hydro-Québec scientists that proves all of HQ's reservoirs emit CO2 and methane.

Ignoring peer-reviewed science is dangerous and will only drive the world deeper into the climate crisis.
"Yet a paper published this year, co-authored by a Hydro Québec scientist, estimates that their methane emissions have a climate impact that is significantly greater than their already substantial CO2 emissions."
The world does not have time for false climate solutions. Canadian hydropower is a climate disaster that violates human rights and destroys ecosystems.
Worldwide, megadams and their reservoirs are
responsible for a staggering 770 megatons of greenhouse gases per year due to flooding, removal of carbon sequestration sources, and river manipulation.

"We must not allow Hydro Québec to lock in infrastructure that would delay development of local wind and solar and set back the vital agenda to solve climate change."
