Clyde Dyar of Mount Vernon, ME This is good and will help a lot of people, but, there needs to be a wider process to cover all Maine people for conversion to alternative energy. What happened to the long term planning process? What happened to LD 1924? This policy should have been completed at the last legislative session. We need a policy that will help all Maine citizens with the cost of conversion to alternative fuels. There used to be Federal tax credits to help defray some of the costs. We are now looking at winter and applauding the Governor for doing this? It is a little slanted toward giving more praise than is due. Especially since LD 1924 was a step in the right direction and died during the last session, his leadership then would have avoided it being done now. If Maine is going to "ease" the fossil fuel crisis we all need to look at alternative plans such as the hydrogen fueled vehicles and equipment. I see a lot of "home grown" mechanics in a building supply store in Augusta today getting their parts for the hydrogen converters for their vehicles. Maine people are pretty good at finding ways to cut costs. We just need more leadership in Augusta to make it cost effective for them.report abuse
