Addressing Maine’s energy problem

Beth Nagusky, state government’s director of the Office of Energy Independence and Security, in her op-ed published in the Bangor Daily News of Aug. 30, states that Maine, in contrast to the United States, is on the right energy course.

She touts state government policies promoting energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy as the solution to our problems; as opposed to the federal government’s failure to take the energy crisis seriously. She belittles any potential benefits from the recently passed federal energy bill. She boasts “big strides were made in the 1970s in response to an oil embargo and we can do it again.”
