The Natural Resources Council of Maine and Maine Climate Voters together delivered a letter calling for climate-friendly solutions to the economic and health crises brought on by the coronavirus pandemic to Maine’s congressional delegation Tuesday. So far, Sen. Susan Collins, Rep. Chellie Pingree and Rep. Jared Golden have acknowledged the letter and its contents, though none have committed to its demands. The letter calls upon the politicians to pursue four goals to promote a green recovery, including accelerating the state’s transition to renewable energy sources and investing in electric public transportation.
