Last November, Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey filed a lawsuit accusing major oil and gas companies of misleading the public about climate change. In doing so, he joined a well-funded campaign aimed at ushering out fossil fuels faster than our markets can accommodate. With Maine households relying on heating oil and propane for home heating more than any other state in the country, his action raises a troubling question: Why is Frey investing taxpayer dollars into a legal campaign with little chance of success and a high price tag for Mainers? ~ Jacob Posik, Maine Policy Institute
