Protecting the Arctic   

NRCM is a strong voice working for protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Protection of the Arctic helps ensure protection of natural areas elsewhere - including in Maine - from the harm caused by oil exploration. It also sends a clear message to Washington that our nation's current energy policies are not working,and that we should adopt policies for clean, renewable energy sources.

In-Depth Description

Even industry experts agree that drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will not solve the country’s energy problems. In fact, such a policy only further fuels the nation’s addiction to dirty fossil fuel.

NRCM is one of many state-based organizations across the country who are sending a united message to the federal government that drilling in the Arctic Refuge is wrong and would violate the wishes of the majority of Americans.

We are working hard to ensure the oil drills stay out of the Arctic. In so doing, we are helping protect other natural areas that could be vulnerable to the oil exploration, including right here in Maine.
