The Bottom-Line

March 7, 2013

“Our biggest obstacle right now in terms of operational

  • bstacles is the cost of gas in the state of Maine. This is

not the base price of the gas, but actually the cost to deliver the gas, which is seasonally impacted by cold weather in the state of Maine as the state of Maine has a restricted pipeline capacity issue.”
