Gov. Janet Mills’ recent announcement of a bold new clean-energy goal to require all of Maine’s electricity to come from renewables by 2040 prioritizes exactly the measures we need to take as a state to make meaningful changes for our climate in that time frame. As I think about the future for my kids and yours, this accelerated goal is exactly the type of decisive action Maine needs. One never knows what the future may hold, and there are significant challenges ahead in the global work to mitigate climate change, but I’m grateful for the vision and leadership here in Maine. For my family and yours, let’s keep up the momentum and secure a more sustainable and equitable future for Maine and beyond. ~ Kim Boucher, Bangor
