Augusta: Defend ME Clean Energy Jobs
Tell Maine legislators to STOP the Koch Bros. "Maine Heritage Policy Center" from killing Maine's green jobs
Why is this important?
Koch Bro's dream of dismantling renewable energy in Maine just got real!! Their think tank, the Maine Heritage Policy Center, attacked Maine's membership in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative - a clean energy program that has created hundreds of green jobs, reduced the impact of climate change in Maine, and contributed $51 million to the Efficiency Maine Trust.
Maine Senator Diane Russell calls the RGGI "a highly successful, regional cap-and-trade program that has contributed more than $92 million to the state’s economy and more than 900 new jobs between 2009 and 2011." (BDN 6/7/2014)
If Maine legislators declare that they'll defend clean energy in Maine and won't bend to the Koch's demands, we can keep Maine's energy economy clean and politics clean of the Koch's money and influence.
