While the politicians continue to talk in Washington, others are already taking action. The Department of Environmental Protection reports that the state is on track to meet its goals by already cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 25% per billion thermal unit of energy since its peak in 2002.

Let’s tap into the American spirit of innovation and collaboration, and meet this challenge head on. ~ Ben Gilma, general counsel, Maine State Chamber of Commerce.
