  • Anti-wind group backs LePage in fight against renewable energy initiative

    AUGUSTA — Friends of Maine's Mountains, a group that opposes the proliferation of grid-scale wind power, announced Thursday that it's supporting Gov. Paul LePage's push against a citizen initiative that would expand the state's renewable energy portfolio.

I guess if we still lived there we would get upset about the burning river reputation, but I think it's something of which to be proud. It was bad, but so were lots of other cities pollution problems. And Cleveland DID something about it. And the effort to clean up our mess-when it got bad enough-...
