As a young Mainer, I recognize that young people have been leaving Maine more often than staying, pursuing jobs and lifestyles in more connected regions of the country. The Build Back Better Act represents a chance to turn this trend around. If passed, the bill would not only provide needed investment in climate solutions. It brings me joy to envision a state that encourages young people to set down roots by improving access to clean energy jobs within the civilian climate corps and sustaining a clean energy economy. ~ Dana Wilfahrt, Portland
