I just watched that. He had some odd mistakes in the segment. Like when he was talking about rate base, he was correct and that’s a huge driver of your distribution rate. But then, either out of ignorance or a desire to sensationalize, he said that no maintenance was being done because utilities weren’t incentivized to do it. That’s almost never true - utilities regularly put maintenance into rate base.

His solar commentary wouldn’t apply to any utility in a deregulated market read: Maine. CMP does not generate power and would have no reason to build a power plant.

He also discussed 3 examples of political corruption. None of the 3 were in Maine.
