Why environment and labor groups are hopeful about Maine’s offshore wind prospects

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 22, 2021

This Earth Day, we are both feeling hopeful about Maine’s climate and economic future. The development of offshore wind energy in the Gulf of Maine represents a tremendous economic, environmental, and community development opportunity for our state. The prospect of wind turbines right outside our visual but within our economic horizon, simultaneously propelling us into a better climate and clean energy jobs future, is something to celebrate. ~ Will Sedlack, Maine Conservation Voters; Grant Provost, Ironworkers Local 7 in Maine
