Imagine if Maine's utilities didn't obstruct new solar installations but celebrated them instead? That's what consumer-owned Nebraska Public Power District does. Maine can too: ourpowermaine.org/take-action. nppd.com/press-releases… #mepolitics #ClimateActionNow ReVision Energy

According to a comprehensive analysis by Dr. Richard Silkman in 2020, a consumer-owned electric utility would save Maine ratepayers over $9 billion over 30 years.

"A lot of climate activism does feel highfalutin, where you buy your Prius and go composting, and a lot of people just don’t do that. But when I’m tabling in the Bronx, saying, “Hey, don’t you hate ConEd?” that just connects." in the new Hammer & Hope hammerandhope.org/article/climat…

What's our plan? Giving Mainers a say in how their grid is run. What's their plan? (You'll recognize it) Delivering increasingly unreliable and profitable power for as long as we let them.

NEW: Maine residents could create the first statewide consumer-owned utility in the U.S. People face skyrocketing electric bills and frequent blackouts, as power companies bring in $187 million. In November, Maine will vote on bringing the utilities under community control.

Pat Mulroy: “If you take a for profit company and convert it to municipal...You become a not-for-profit...You could take all that debt, refinance it, and not pay federal taxes. Those factors alone instantly knock your power bill down by 20%.” nevadacurrent.com/2023/10/05/has…

YES ON 3! Thank you Maine Public for this look into the secretive, expensive campaign to turn Maine voters against Pine Tree Power #PineTreePower #PowerToThePeople #MEPolitics #Maine #EnergyEfficiency #VoteOutCMP #VoteOutVersant mainepublic.org/politics/2023-…

For profit entities vs public-good entities. A comparison. Putting Mainers in the decision-making seat of our power companies will let us address the needs of our communities instead of the needs of investors hoping to make a quick buck at the expense of everyone who lives here.

Let's help our neighbors and the indigenous Wəlastəkwi and Pαnawάhpskewi people stop Wolfden Resources Corporation's attempt to rezone hundreds of acres of Maine just East of Katahdin with the intention of mining. Please take a moment to send a letter! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-t…

Maine is gearing up to vote on whether the state should shift to publicly owned utilities. Recent HIT Strategies polling w/ We Make The Future Action shows most Americans support this new concept, especially people of color and young people. cnet.com/home/energy-an…

A panel of Texas judges have ruled that power plants have no responsibility to provide electricity in emergencies. The decision leaves the families of those who died in the winter freeze unsure where next to seek justice. Story by Mose Buchele: kut.org/energy-environ… #txlege
