Offshore wind will extend Maine’s maritime legacy, allowing our state to step into a leadership role in the national clean energy landscape. It will attract young people to Maine as students, engineers and contractors. This new industry will open doors for students like me who want to contribute to a cleaner, healthier future along Maine’s working waterfront. Passing L.D. 1895, “An Act Regarding the Procurement of Energy from Offshore Wind Resources,” would send a signal that Maine is ready to be a leader in offshore wind, bringing billions of dollars of investment to the state in workforce training, as well as our ports, communities and local businesses. ~ Luke Healy, Castine
