CENTRAL MAINE • August 9, 2024
Maine’s emerging offshore wind industry represents a crucial economic and environmental opportunity. Our coast’s high wind speeds and deep-water access make Maine an ideal candidate for a major offshore wind investment. In fact, the federal grant that will help pay for construction of an offshore wind port totals nearly half a billion dollars- the largest federal investment in our state ever! Offshore wind is the best way for Maine to combat destructive climate change while simultaneously promoting economic growth and Maine jobs. ~ Beth Trehu, Rome
