I attend King Middle School in Portland. In social studies class, we have been learning about climate change and energy sources. Wind energy is a healthy energy source for Maine to mitigate climate change. By having blades rotate as the wind blows, a turbine is spun so that power can be generated. The average wind turbine installed in the United States today gives the turbine up to 20 years of productive use. Hydropower is an energy source able to develop on a mass scale. Maine should focus on solar power. ~ Hamsa Sadak, Portland
