Plans unveiled for removal of #BarMillsDam on #SacoRiver
#Brookfield is seeking public comment on its latest proposal to remove all parts of the dam that are visible from the Main Street bridge in #BuxtonME and #HollisME
by Madeleine Kaptein, June 30, 2026
"Brookfield White Pine Hydro, the Maine branch of #BrookfieldRenewable Partners, rolled out its latest plan for decommissioning the Bar Mills Project dam in Buxton and Hollis to the public last week. The company intends to conduct a full removal rather than the partial removal it proposed in 2022.
"The dam, which sits in the Saco River on the Hollis-Buxton border, has not operated since 2017, when it was found to have concrete issues that prevented it from generating electricity. The company had to decide whether to repower the station, reconstruct the powerhouse and install a fish passage, or surrender and remove the project. It chose to surrender.
"Brookfield is preparing to file its application in the fall for federal, state and local permits to move forward with the decommissioning work. It is seeking feedback on its new plan for the remainder of the summer. Initial questions and comments were heard at a public meeting at the Hollis Town Hall on June 25.
[...]
"[My hero] Rita Bradbury spoke at the meeting about concerns about the type of revegetation that will occur in the area, particularly invasive species like #JapaneseKnotweeds that she has seen year after year growing near Usher Island.
" 'I’d like to see a plan from Brookfield where you take it seriously that we don’t want to have an open area for invasive species,' she said. 'I’d like to see a wetland biologist involved so that the right things would grow at the right places and maybe see if there could be a replanting of #NativeSpecies.'
"She also called on Brookfield to remove every part of the dam that it is not using, including the powerhouse spillway, to protect the natural environment and eliminate safety hazards."

4 Dams Set for Removal in #Maine Will Open Hundreds of Miles of #River for #Salmon, #Herring and #Sturgeon
By Andy Corbley, Oct 15, 2025
"In Maine, ownership of 4 large dams has been transferred to #TheNatureConservancy in a sale it hopes will return the river they operate on into prime habitat for salmon for the first time in a century.
"Operated by #BrookfieldRenewables, the dams along the lower #KennebecRiver prevent ocean going, freshwater fish like salmon from accessing #AncestralSpawningGrounds upriver.
"On September 15th, 2025, The Nature Conservancy (#TNC) and #Brookfield signed a purchase and sale agreement for the four dams totaling $138 million.
"The Kennebec River is fed by #SandyRiver in the heart of Maine before running down to the #GulfOfMaine past the towns of #SkowheganME and #WatervilleME. The Weston, Shawmut, #HydroKennebec, and Lockwood dams are located in intervals along this stretch, called the #LowerKennebec.
"The federal regulatory process for decommissioning a dam, as seen in the recent parallel in #California, where four dams were removed to make way for salmon, needed more than 5 years from start to finish. As a result, TNC will look to gather another $30 million in funding to create a nonprofit that will manage and oversee the decommissioning process, during which the dams could continue to generate power for 5 to 10 years.
"That would include working with Sappi North America, whose Somerset Mill, located between the town of Skowhegan and the #ShawmutDam, to find a solution to the company’s long-term water needs, which are currently met by this dam.
"Their twin goals in the decommissioning project are to return free-flowing conditions to the lower Kennebec River to support regionally-#endangered #NorthAtlanticSalmon, while doing so in collaboration with existing stakeholders in the dams’ activities, Sappi included.
" 'TNC and its partners are 100% committed to developing a solution with Sappi that fully addresses the Somerset Mill’s long-term water system needs,' the organization wrote in a statement. 'We understand the vital role of the Somerset Mill for the forest products industry and the state’s economy.'
"#AtlanticSalmon are considered near-threatened worldwide, but certain stocks in the North Atlantic have almost completely disappeared. Access to Sandy River via the lower Kennebec would open up hundreds of miles of prime habitat for spawning and coming of age.
"Brookfield maintains dams higher up the river, but these areas are considered to be of poor habitat quality. Those dams also happen to produce substantially more electricity than the dams along the lower stretch of the river—those set to be removed.
"The Maine Monitor reports that fishing advocacy groups have argued for the dam’s removal for 'decades.' #RiverHerring [#Alewives], the federally-protected #AtlanticSturgeon, and #AmericanEel all rely on Maine’s freshwater rivers to either spawn or feed before swimming out to sea.
"The current predicament finds around one-twelfth of the historic spawning population of Atlantic salmon returning to the Kennebec via the gulf, where they’re captured at #LockwoodDam and actually trucked up the roads past the next three dams to spawn. During the reverse journey many do not survive the journey to the gulf past the industrial infrastructure.
"The removal of the #KlamathRiver dams this time last year produced incredible results immediately, with fish finding their way back upstream far past the farthest dam to spawn within a single season, proving that ancestral instincts can remain intact despite generations of fish not being able to act on them.
"But examples also lie closer to home, with dams removed years past along another Maine river, the #PenobscotRiver, resulting in long-term economic and environmental improvements."

NBC News Top Stories | She paid an insurance company $99,000 to generate retirement income for life. Then it collapsed. by Gretchen Morgenson
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Annie Benjamin paid $99,000 for a retirement annuity from PHL Variable Insurance Co., only to have the private‑equity‑backed insurer collapse in 2024, freezing her account and leaving her and roughly 100,000 other policyholders facing a $2.2 billion shortfall. The failure highlights a broader shift in the life‑insurance industry: companies once content with safe, high‑quality investments are now taking on risky, complex reinsurance deals—often hidden in confidential filings and backed by assets that don’t meet standard accounting rules. State regulators, who are supposed to guard policyholders’ money, have been slow to police these practices, allowing thin capital cushions and “excess‑of‑loss” agreements that can evaporate when needed. As a result, many retirees risk receiving only a fraction of promised payouts, exposing a growing vulnerability in an industry that increasingly underpins retirement income for Americans.

In 2023, bankrupt #Westinghouse was bought for 8 billion $ by #Brookfield and #Cameco.
Now, in the midst of a government shutdown, the administration is supposedly promising 80 billion $ of money it doesn't have? And the US government will only get a sliver of future profits - if there are any - under the condition that Westinghouse will pay out at least 17.5 billion $ to Brookfield and Cameco?

Another Excerpt from: The Duality of Violence: Capitalism’s Role in Systemic Harm
:earth: 🌱 :earth: 🌱
The trainwreck on the horizon is not unstoppable, but the locomotive is accelerating. We need more people pulling on the cables to signal we want off before the crash. The first step in pulling those cables is recognizing where the train is heading locally. If the system isn’t working for your community, start to build one that will. Collaborate with neighbors to build mutual aid networks and develop response plans. Get involved in local government. Pay attention to the things you can control. Local actions reverberate globally.
On New Year’s Day, I set out to reconnoiter a site that embodies the systemic challenges faced by local communities. I went to see Iroquois Gas Transmission System’s Brookfield Compressor Station.
There, standing in the light rain, the hum of the facility drowned out the sound of the few remaining leaves in the breeze. Along the residential street leading to the site, signs opposing further expansion of the infrastructure serve as a quiet testament to the community’s concerns. The project’s goal is to expand pipeline capacity by increasing the pressure of the methane gas within.
While systemic violence often stays hidden, it manifests through policies and projects that prioritize short-term profits over long-term well-being. Standing at the gate, I began to wonder how many people it would take to block the road.

:earth:
Dear Ms. Johnson,
I am reaching out to raise significant concerns about the Iroquois Gas Transmission Enhancement by Compression (ExC) project, particularly its role in locking in long-term reliance on methane gas infrastructure.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with far-reaching implications for our climate and public health. Expanding infrastructure to facilitate its continued use creates an enduring dependency that is fundamentally at odds with the urgent need to transition to renewable energy sources. This is not merely a question of emissions today; it is about the decades-long legacy of methane reliance that projects like this perpetuate.
With policies increasingly favoring decarbonization, how does Iroquois reconcile this project with the clear scientific consensus that methane infrastructure poses an unacceptable risk to meeting climate targets? Beyond the immediate operational emissions, the project risks delaying investments in truly sustainable energy solutions, effectively entrenching an outdated energy model.
Communities and future generations deserve more than incremental change; they deserve transformative leadership that prioritizes a rapid shift away from fossil fuels altogether. I urge Iroquois to reconsider its trajectory and take bold steps toward aligning its operations with a net-zero future.
I look forward to hearing how Iroquois plans to address these critical concerns, not just for today, but for the long-term health of our planet and its people.
Sincerely,
Jonathan

According to new filings in a U.S. federal court in New York, the municipality of Lima, Peru, is accusing the Canadian corporation of profiting from assets plagued by “corrupt practices,” including a Peruvian toll road project purchased in 2016 from Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht — just before Odebrecht pled guilty to foreign bribery in a massive U.S. Department of Justice case that resulted in a $3.5 billion (U.S.) fine.
