In-Depth Description
For too long, Maine - and the U.S. - has been reliant upon fossil fuels for our energy needs. These dirty energy sources - oil, coal, gas - contribute to global warming pollution and other air pollution that leads to serious health and environmental harms. This addiction to dirty energy also hinders progress toward the increased energy independence our country and our state need.
Clean energy sources such as wind and solar are widely available today. NRCM strongly supports initiatives that encourage clean solar energy and appropriately sited wind projects because they provide tremendous benefits to the people and wildlife of Maine.
We also work for greater energy efficiency and conservation, as that is consistently the cheapest, cleanest way to meet Maine’s needs while reducing energy pollution.
We invite you to learn more about the benefits of clean, sustainable energy, and the successes NRCM has had for clean energy policies and initiatives in Maine.
