"Maine lawmakers are now considering LD 838 titled “An Act to Establish the Maine Clean Energy Authority,” a bill sponsored by Senator Mark Lawrence and co-sponsored by every Democrat member of the Energy, Utilities, and Technology Committee. Although the bill was originally introduced as a concept draft (commonly used as a bait-and-switch tactic within the legislature) a full amendment was just unveiled with less than a week’s notice to the public revealing sweeping and unprecedented powers that should alarm everyone in this state.
It is crucial that Mainers understand what is actually inside this proposal before it doesn’t become a liberal proposal, but the new normal in Maine. To ensure that doesn’t happen, we need your help."
