NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL OF MAINE • May 12, 2020
A strong majority of Maine voters support bipartisan action on clean energy and transportation to address climate change, even as the state faces the coronavirus pandemic, according to a public opinion survey by the Portland-based research firm Critical Insights. The survey released today by the Natural Resources Council of Maine shows that Maine voters are increasingly concerned about the impacts of global warming, and more than 80% support reducing pollution by expanding solar energy and creating a statewide public transportation network connecting cities and towns with bus service. Mainers want their elected officials to work across party lines to address global warming and support the ongoing work of the Maine Climate Council to develop a strong Climate Action Plan.
