A bill that may be reconsidered by the Maine Legislature, which would let voters decide on the proposed Pine Tree Power Company, would give the state an opportunity to reach its goals set by its climate action plan, honor the traditions of Maine’s native peoples and leave a lasting and positive legacy for the young people of today. If the Pine Tree Power Company bill passes in the Legislature, Maine voters can vote to create a customer-driven, non-profit electric utility that would be managed for Mainers, by Mainers. ~ Maulian Dana, tribal ambassador for the Penobscot Nation, and Ania Wright, youth representative to the Maine Climate Council
