Opinion: New Mainer eager to support Maine’s green economy

PRESS HERALD • August 31, 2020

I am originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I earned a bachelor of science in engineering from the American Christian Liberal Arts University in Kinshasa and did graduate coursework at Technische Universität Berlin in Germany. I have lived in Portland since April 2019 and am studying electrical engineering at the Southern Maine Community College. My passion is for solar energy. My education and work experience throughout Africa and Europe and my studies here have shown me the economic potential of a clean-energy future to put Maine on a strong economic and environmental footing. Let us rise to the challenge to ensure that affordable clean energy, clean transportation, and energy efficiency opportunities are available to all Mainers, New Mainers included. ~ Moise Mulamba, Portland
