Opinion: It’s time for Mainers to speak up on clean energy

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 4, 2025

Our climate system is becoming both more erratic and more extreme, and we must do more to stop the emissions of fossil fuels that are causing these disasters. The only way that we can do that, while creating good-paying union jobs and stabilizing electricity prices, is to stay the course on offshore wind. So no matter whether your concern is affordable electric bills, a reliable grid, protecting communities from future disasters, or perhaps just being able to get out and enjoy winter, it is a time to remember to speak up. ~ Lucy Hochschartner, Maine Conservation Voters
