Maine has a chance to build a new, innovative industry. But it has to take a thoughtful approach at the beginning that helps workers, doesn’t risk the fishing industry and follows strict environmental standards. We need to build new sources of renewable energy, but we can’t do it in a way that leaves Maine working families and coastal communities behind. I support requiring labor and environmental standards for new offshore wind developments. It’s the best way to fight climate change and lift up Maine people. Thank you to Sen. Curry for his important leadership on this issue. ~ Derek Proctor, Troy
