To the Editor:
Winter storms, flooding, power outages, and soaring temperatures all take their toll on our health, our dollars, and our communities. “Maine Won’t Wait”, Maine’s Climate Action Plan, created in 2021, has already increased community resilience, renewable job opportunities, and clean energy infrastructure. Now, the Maine Climate Council wants to hear from Mainers across the state as they develop the next 4-year plan.
We can make our voices heard through the Maine Climate Council Survey/Summer 2024.
Survey takers can read the proposal and offer their own ideas in addition to evaluating the recommendations in each of 8 categories: Building, Coastal and Marine, Community Resilience, Energy, Land Use, Materials Management, Natural and Working Lands, and Transportation.
Heat pumps keep me cool on these record-setting hot summer days. These heat pumps were installed as part of the Maine Climate Action Plan, administered by Efficiency Maine. This particular program offers huge savings to landlords that install heat pumps in multi-family apartment buildings. I am pleased to see plans to expand this program to low-income households and businesses in the building section of the survey.
Clean energy jobs in Maine already top 15,000, and Maine’s renewable energy goals continue to foster job growth and make us more energy independent by investing in home-grown clean energy sources.
Maine’s Climate Action Plan invests in Mainers, making our state more resilient and prepared for whatever a changing climate may bring.
Please join me in taking the survey and supporting the Maine Climate Action Plan.
