PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 10, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that regional, national and international communities can respond quickly and meaningfully when a global crisis arises, and has woken us up to the urgent need to take action now on climate change. The Northeast is on the road toward doing just that, thanks to strong climate and clean-energy commitments from states like Maine. To build on this momentum, we see five goals that will drive Maine’s clean-energy economy forward: Aim high; make equity a priority; invest in a modern clean-energy grid; join the regional transportation initiative, and establish an energy storage roadmap. ~ Peter Rothstein, Northeast Clean Energy Council, and Fortunat Mueller, ReVision Energy
