Letter: BEP should reject Advanced Clean Cars II

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 20, 2023

Some Mainers are choosing to purchase zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). If a ZEV makes sense for individuals, I think it is a great choice. However, I have a problem with bureaucrats in Augusta forcing them on everyone. The Maine Board of Environmental Protection (BEP) is considering the adoption of a policy that will mandate the sale of ZEVs in Maine, removing the consumers’ right to choose. I urge the BEP to reject the adoption of the Advanced Clean Cars II plan. ~ Pamela Miner, Casco
