PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 22, 2020
We will win the war against COVID-19. Imagine what would happen if we put the same effort into winning the war against climate change. Imagine incentives to keep people working at home, war power acts that directed Bath Iron Works to make windmills and General Motors to make electric cars, stimulus packages that built public transportation, wireless infrastructure and daily CDC reports that told us what was really going on. We will win the fight against the virus. Will we win these other fights? The answer is up to us. ~ Benjamin Shambaugh, Portland
