Opinion: Creating jobs, economic opportunities for Mainers through clean energy

SUN JOURNAL • January 31, 2021

As Maine and the rest of the nation work to reinvest and build a stronger, more resilient economy, strategic investments in our clean energy infrastructure will be critical. Investing in domestic clean energy production, transmission, and storage will help spur American innovation while creating much-needed jobs for the 21st century. Fortunately, Republican members of Congress have recognized the vast economic and employment potential of clean energy. By pushing to include the Energy Act of 2020, conservative leaders are working across the aisle to advance common sense, market-based solutions that will address the impacts of our changing climate in a pro-growth way that stimulates the American economy. ~ Rep.
