I am a student from King Middle School, and I have been researching climate change. Going into the future, Maine should harness the full potential of nuclear, wind, and solar, in an attempt to impede climate change, and by 2045, become carbon neutral. Moreover, if we can strive to use renewable energy sources that don’t worsen global warming, then we may be able to adapt to this changing planet. We should all be asking ourselves: How am I going to adapt to this changing world? And in what ways? ~ Oliver Bensen, Portland
