MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • March 13, 2022
Greg Kesich makes the excellent moral case for “Renewable energy best way to fight Putin.” What can we do now, here in Maine? We are not only the most forested state in the nation; we also have a well-developed infrastructure for modern wood heating, with four wood pellet manufacturing plants, from Ashland to Sanford, and in Bethel the U.S. assembler and distributor of one of Europe’s foremost lines of pellet heating equipment. Thanks in large part to Maine’s congressional delegation, governor, and our legislators, there is now a 26 percent federal tax rebate for installing modern wood heating equipment and an Efficiency Maine incentive of up to $5,000 for such equipment. ~ Bill Bell, Saco, Maine Pellet Fuels Association
