CMP has been acting really crazy lately. I mean really out there. Unbelievable. Totally nuts!
How can they expect that sane and logical people are being influenced to support their project while watching this crazy circus?
Watch this.

CMP sent out a glossy postcard last year promising 3500 new jobs if its NECEC transmission project is built. Last week, they sent the same glossy postcard promising only 1600 new jobs. The new postcard also changed the purported "investment" in Maine's economy into a totally different number "injected" into Maine's economy.
Original: "NECEC will change this with close to a $1Billion investment in Maine's economy and support of 3500 jobs."
Revised: "NECEC will change this with close to $573 million injected into Maine's economy and support of 1,600 jobs."
The postcards also differ with the name of the website recipients can visit "to learn more." The original tells recipients to visit "3500mainejobs.com" The revised version tells recipients to visit "goodformaine.org"
How bad is it when your revamping of your PR program makes your original website obsolete? (Note, visiting the original redirects to the revised). Does CMP think people are stupid? That they have no memory at all?
Geez, CMP, your PR contractor completely screwed this up! You weren't supervising them at all, were you? Or maybe you were too busy fighting off the Russians?

May 30 - Today at an energy conference in New York, Thorn Dickinson from CMP/Avangrid gave a presentation where he complained that corridor opponents are like the Russians trying to influence elections. https://www.spglobal.com/…/…/northeast-power-and-gas-markets
He complained of artificial intelligence used to spread fake news like the Russians.
Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any transcript or intense power point featuring Boris and Natasha, just a report from a person who attended and listened to the crazy.
Somebody seems to be cracking up here.
To underscore this, listen to Thorn's excuse for the inconsistent postcards, when he insists that was an "on purpose."

The difference between these two numbers is easily understood by anyone familiar with this project and Maine's approval process. One refers to the average number of jobs supported each year over the six years of development, and the higher number is the expectation during the peak year of construction. Both mailers are accurate. These numbers have been consistent since the onset of the project and were confirmed by two, independent economic analyses using standard modeling techniques. -Thorn Dickinson, Vice President of Business Development, Avangrid
"Anyone familiar with this project and Maine's approval process." Was this the target of the postcards? Judging by their wide circulation, I don't think so. They weren't sent to "anyone," but to "everyone," even those unfamiliar with this project and Maine's approval process. This is the epitome of stepped in it.
What a clown! Oops, I meant клоун.
When I'm done laughing hysterically at this ridiculous circus, I'm probably going to conclude that CMP is making crap up as it goes along. And nobody is buying it.
