Hannah Pingree on Energy & Oil

 

 


Deliver 100% clean energy by 2040

As co-chair of the Maine Climate Council, she led Maine Won't Wait, the state's climate action plan, and helped deliver results by making historic investments in resilience and recovery, strengthening infrastructure against extreme storms and flooding, expanding efficiency and clean energy opportunities, lowering costs for families through the installation of more than 100,000 heat pumps ahead of schedule, and creating thousands of good paying jobs.

[We should] deliver 100% clean energy by 2040, reducing reliance on costly imported fossil fuels, investing in responsibly sited clean energy that benefits communities, and using regular competitive auctions to rapidly deploy local solar, wind, and energy storage that lowers costs for Maine people and businesses. Maine must pursue a "least cost" electricity supply through reform and modernization of the standard offer and other procurement processes.
