Maine has the second fastest rising electricity costs of any state in the nation, only trailing behind California, according to an analysis published by Bloomberg News.
The Bloomberg report highlighted inflation across all parts of a consumer spending, showing that Maine’s electricity costs have risen 42 percent from August 2019 to August 2023.
California, the state with the steepest increase, saw costs increase 51 percent during the same timeframe.
The analysis was based on data collected by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The skyrocketing cost of energy in Maine has coincided with a push by the Mills Administration to subsidize and artificially boost solar power and wind power.
At the same time, the Mills Administration has proposed policies that will increase electricity consumption in Maine, such as rules to mandate Electric Vehicle use and encourage the installation of electric heat pumps.

Maine officials, both elected and unelected have been fed and are re- feeding Mainers with disinformation and are going so far as to withholding information relating to the costs associated with their evil devices to slaughter C02.

The Green New Deal is entering a murderous phase of madness. It seems that climate is being weaponized by our own government with ambitious help from the CCP.

Actually, the mass murderer jews and anti China Silk Road zeolots are disrupting global trade.
1. Free Palestine from the occupation of invader jews.
2. Boycott companies like L.L Bean that use cheap labour in Asian countries instead of manufacturing and exporting at/from home.
3. Problems solved
Red, you make it sound so easy
Democrates start wars and cause the dollar to go down in value. And no new cars. Bring on the Camels.
Ho my bad. Camels do give off carbon dioxide.
