Maine Climate Council says it’s ‘not all doom and gloom’ amid concerns about federal cuts

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • March 28, 2025

Most of the federal money Maine is counting on to achieve its ambitious climate goals is still flowing, at least for now, despite President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw support for clean energy and conservation projects, according to state climate officials. The council may eventually have to reconsider some of Maine’s climate change projections, timeline and goals. But that can’t happen until “after the dust settles,” most likely toward the end of the year.
