Why is this sign in Romania important?
Because it hides the lie.
The lie that burning trees for energy is good for the climate.
The sign says "Our most precious value is nature. Let's take care of her."
See thread below to find out what's behind it.

Behind the sign above is a pellet plant.
Stacked in the yard are giant piles of trees including massive old trees, ready to be crushed into pellets.
The EU calls this renewable energy.
The sign said to take care of nature. This is not care, this is abuse.

These trees are not by-products, they are targeted to be logged to make pellets.
Without incentives, they would still be alive in a forest.
This is a scandal.
Tomorrow, Wed March 29th, EU leaders can help stop this.

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.

bangordailynews.com/2021/10/26/opi…
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."

North American Megadam Resistance Alliance and our international network urges Mainers to vote YES on Referendum Question 1 on November 2 to reject the New England Clean Energy Connect hydropower transmission corridor.

Full press release: mailchi.mp/fd908586f5ef/i…
To generate electricity for NECEC, Hydro-Quebec will use 61 dams and 28 reservoirs that have flooded and destroyed tens of thousands of square miles of boreal forests, wetlands, and taiga.

Hydropower destroys rivers and forests, violates Indigenous rights, and harms the climate.
Most of the dams are built on the ancestral lands of Indigenous Peoples in Canada without their consent and without compensation. The Innu, Atikamekw, and Anishinabek First Nations in Quebec oppose NECEC and are suing Hydro-Quebec for violations of their constitutional rights.

Importing Canadian hydropower via New England Clean Energy Connect = supporting environmental racism and destruction. This energy source is a climate injustice on every level.

"It is essential to highlight that we are not advocating for a different corridor pathway, as we believe hydropower does not have a place in the future of clean energy transition."
"Beyond the physical corridor, one of the most glaring environmental injustices of this project is the irreparable harm that Hydro-Quebec’s megadams are causing to Indigenous communities,"

Voting YES on Maine's Question 1 on November 2nd means standing with Indigenous communities in Canada that have been exploited and abused for hydropower generation.

quebechydroclash.com/press-release-…
A coalition of five hydro-impacted Indigenous communities where the power for New England Clean Energy Connect (CMP Corridor) would be sourced from vehemently oppose this project.
According to the coalition, "36% of the total hydroelectric power installed by Hydro-Quebec has been stolen from us since it is produced in our respective ancestral territories from reservoirs, dams, power plants and various other installations, without prior consultation,"
