Shenna Bellows on Energy & Oil

Green energy solutions instead of nuclear energy

Anyone who farms can tell you that climate is warming

• In the last two decades, politicians in Washington have wrought an environmental crisis that threatens Maine's economic future. Anyone who gardens, farms or fishes can tell you that Maine's climate is warming.
• Politicians in Washington occasionally talk a good game, but they have done nothing substantive to address the looming environmental crisis.
• And as we all know, in Maine our economy and our natural environment are fundamentally connected. We have brilliant minds working in the environmental movement here in Maine to protect land for future and also promote and grow local economies.
• If elected, I will advocate and organize support for a power shift in our approach to energy and environmental policy.
• We need to have a debate about the best ways forward to fix environmental crises. The politicians might say that solving climate change is impossible, but it's too important not to try, and we cannot wait.
