This week, the Maine Labor Climate Council, a newly formed coalition of labor unions comprising thousands of workers across our state and many sectors of our economy, released a landmark report that lays out a worker- and community-centered vision for transitioning to a clean-energy economy. Our report offers bold, science-based solutions for building out Maine’s renewable energy economy. It’s essential that the clean-energy economy we’re building improves the lives of working people and communities — particularly those left behind by decades of factory closures, rising costs of living and underfunded public infrastructure. ~ Cynthia Phinney, Maine AFL-CIO
