Issue Position: A Clean Energy Future

Issue Position

America can build a home-grown solution to our energy problems that that will create good paying manufacturing jobs right here in Maine that can't be exported, while reducing our dependence on oil. Maine is perfectly positioned to lead this new clean energy revolution, which is why I have fought for programs that promote onshore and offshore wind, tidal power and biomass energy in Maine.

With some of the oldest houses in the country and an overwhelming dependence on home heating oil, staying warm can be a real struggle for many Maine families. That's why I have worked to bring programs to Maine that help homeowners reduce their heating bills through affordable energy efficiency improvements.
