Drew Ketterer’s Feb. 5 op-ed (“Climate superfund bill is an impractical choice for Maine”), concerning LD 1870, continues the petroleum industry’s history of misleading information (he is an attorney for petroleum companies, no surprise there). A 2025 report, endorsed by 12 national health organizations found 350,000 premature deaths each year in the U.S. due to the fossil fuel industry. The fossil fuel industry and its attorneys will continue to make the perfect the enemy of the good as they obfuscate and delay action to address the pollution and climate change impacts they are directly responsible for causing. ~ Mark Follansbee, Scarborough
