Say No to Net Energy Billing
The industrialization of our beautiful land has to STOP! Off the top of my head I can name 2 new huge solar fields within 20 minutes (Belfast and Unity) of my house. We must continue to speak up. Also, WE pay for these fields in our electric bill through Net Energy Billing. Republicans have put in a bill to repeal the practice so please contact your Democrat Representative or Senator and tell them NO to Net Energy billing.

Join Fishing Advocacy Groups Calling for Investigation into Vineyard Wind's Production & Installation of Wind Turbines
As you may know, the Maine Lobstermen's Association remains steadfast in its position that no area of the Gulf of Maine be industrialized
with commercial offshore wind. We believe that there are still too many unanswered questions about the impacts of offshore wind on the
marine environment, commercial fishermen, and our fishing heritage.
Our partners at Responsible Offshore Development Alliance (RODA) and the New England Fishermen's Stewardship Association (NEFSA) are seeking support for their request for the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement to conduct a fully transparent investigation into the incident two weeks ago in which a GE blade detached from a turbine in the Vineyard Wind project site - off the coast of Nantucket.
