In-Depth Project Description

NRCM’s clean air and energy work is focused on where we can have the greatest impact: cleaner cars and trucks, clean and renewable energy production, and greater energy efficiency.

Our work in these key areas is critical to reducing health and environmental problems already plaguing our state. These include high asthma rates, more “bad air days,” rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities, and threats to our fall foliage, skiing, and our vital tourism-based industry.

NRCM makes certain that Maine's elected officials and other decision-makers are kept up to date about most recent information related to global warming pollution, clean energy technologies, and steps Maine can take to ensure clean air.
