The Maine Climate Council has concluded green hydrogen is unlikely to be a commercially viable market by 2030, so putting an additional 15,000 Mainers in electric vehicles by the decade’s end, for a total of 150,000, is the state’s best hope of meeting its emissions reduction targets. The swap-out took place Thursday as the council put the final touches on Maine Won’t Wait 2.0, the state’s second climate action plan, which will be submitted to Gov. Janet Mills on Nov. 21. The plan outlines ways for Maine to reduce emissions and adapt to its changing climate.
