Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itSpecific assertion about the state of Maine's power grid infrastructure — verifiable against utility investment records and grid reliability data.
What we foundThe grid is genuinely fragile and aging, but the claim that it 'has not been recapitalized' is contradicted by well-documented evidence of 14 consecutive years of record capital investment by utilities.
