MAINE PUBLIC • June 16, 2020

A Senate committee on Tuesday focused on the plight of the energy conservation and renewables workforce, which has declined by more than 17 percent during the pandemic. U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine, who serves on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, says he’s very worried about the potential long-term effects. King says efforts to reduce energy consumption and protect the environment could be jeopardized if the job losses continue and are never restored.
