Letter: Wind power key to fighting climate change

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • June 23, 2024

Our climate is heating up. It’s not just the heat taxing our health and infrastructure; with changing temperatures come extreme storms. I recently watched FEMA make their way up and down my road on the coast, taking stock of the damage from the January storms. A warming climate threatens us all. It drives sea life to new waters, hurts our elders and children, and causes economic damage. Now’s the time to mitigate the damage. Transition to clean, sustainable, offshore wind power – electrical generation by Mainers, for Mainers. Wind power on Sears Island will provide good union jobs to our hard-hit Midcoast while acting as a tool in the fight to control the climate disaster created by fossil fuels. ~ Jennifer Reynolds, Jonesport
