Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Energy

I support renewable energy and climate change initiatives to reduce Maine's greenhouse gas emissions, including Governor Mill's initiative to cut carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. Included in this effort are incentives for creating energy-efficient heating, and new solar incentive programs.

This is near and dear to my heart as I was an original member of the Portsmouth Recycling Committee 30 years ago that implemented a city wide recycling initiative. More recently, I chaired the Kittery Community Center Board of Directors and lead the board to adopt a five year Strategic Plan that includes an emphasis on expanding the use of environmentally friendly, energy-efficient practices in the KCC, and explore the use of active and passive solar technologies.

I believe we need to act now and I will work hard to move Maine into a leadership position in a clean energy economy.
