We can thank the Inflation Reduction Act for helping to strengthen the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate harmful greenhouse gasses around the country and here in Maine. But we should also point out who’s responsible for causing this problem in the first place. That would be Sen. Susan Collins, who spent years confirming the anti-environment judges who created this very problem that the Inflation Reduction Act is now trying to address. The Inflation Reduction Act does a lot to help our fight against climate change, and it’s disappointing that Collins refused to join the rest of Maine’s delegation in supporting this bill. She claims to be an environmental champion, but time and again her votes tell a different story. ~ Charles Skold, Portland
