Jobs and Economic Development

Thriving renewable energy industries are vital to mitigating the dire effects of climate change and ensuring that we have a resilient and robust economy. Offshore wind has the potential to grow family-sustaining jobs in Maine and boost economic development for all communities.

Health and Equity

Responsibly developed offshore wind has many benefits, including the potential to improve health outcomes in communities that have long borne the brunt of fossil fuel pollution. With the proper policies in place, it can also benefit these communities by increasing economic inclusion and laying the groundwork for an equitable clean energy economy.

Collaboration

Collaboration is essential for Maine to mitigate the dire effects of the climate crisis and meet climate goals. By working together, we can develop an equitable renewable energy economy through the rapid and responsible build-out of offshore wind. Collaboration is necessary to maximize Maine’s potential as a leader in the offshore wind revolution and unlock economies of scale, accelerate development, and improve project outcomes.

Responsible Development

We advocate for a clean energy future where inclusive stakeholder processes, health and equity considerations, and wildlife and environmental protection are essential components of offshore wind development. Offshore wind can be developed in a responsible way that respects our local communities, our environment, and our wildlife – and it should be.
