David Thill of Energy News Network reports that Maine has announced a plan to fight climate change.
Maine’s newest plan to combat climate change includes a renewable energy standard and investments in energy efficiency. What the plan does not include, but should, are investments in nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is safe, reliable, and does not emit carbon.
“The council approved the plan, which includes more than 50 proposed policies and goals, at a Nov. 12 meeting with stakeholders.
