“No hours worked. I’d put in their training hours. That's because, again, I was doing the time cards and I started seeing bonuses, $2,000 bonuses, going to these staff that had only been with us for two weeks.

 Liberal politics rule in Augusta, the Governor is liberal, the Legislature is liberal, the Commissioners of the PUC are liberal, the Office of the Public Advocate is liberal, the Department of Energy Resources is liberal, all the lobbyists who flood to public hearings held by the EUT Committee are liberal rent seekers. For the past 7 years, liberals have made all the energy policies in Maine. If voters vote with their wallet, we should expect a liberal wipeout in…

Federal clean energy incentives are expiring on Dec. 31. But homeowners will still have access to Efficiency Maine rebates, and the state is part of a $450 million effort to increase heat pump adoption across New England.

Federal tax incentives for clean energy upgrades are going away at the end of this year, cutting into potential savings on rooftop solar, heat pumps and more.

In 2026, homeowners who…

Electricity Prices Going Up? Green Policy Is to Blame – Cornwall Alliance

Electricity prices are rising, and Democrats are making it a campaign issue. They blame the price hike on President Trump and congressional Republicans, who ended Biden-era renewable-energy subsidies in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. But prices are actually soaring because of plant closures and…
