ivest UMaine’s decision to lobby the Univer- sity of Maine System board of trustees, while perhaps being a noble endeavor in the envi- ronmentalist crusade, does not really serve the D long-term needs or interests of students or em- ployees. The idea of divestment is important in a capitalist society. Money is speech. Individuals endorse, through purchasing power, the companies whose products and practices resonate with their values. However, that’s a practice that must occur purely on an individual level. The University of Maine cannot afford to be so self-interested, as it has a duty to its students and em- ployees to remain fscally solvent. This means it should pri- oritize strong investment transactions, and oil is a strong, viable commodity. It’s not as if the university hasn’t proven its commitment to sustainability through a number of initiatives, particularly through its involvement in the Maine Aqua Ventus offshore wind project. But, even within this project, there is not wholesale agree- ment about whether so-called “green energy” technologies are the best step forward in terms of energy needs. In an interview with this newspaper in January, James La- Brecque, owner of a local heating pump and refrigeration unit business, expressed concern that wind energy, which has lately been given attention as the possible energy of the future, is not the most effcient form available. For most of the year, wind energy needs to be stored, since electricity consumption in local homes peaks in winter, and electrical energy doesn’t store as well as gas or oil. Egyptian media from 1981 to 2013: Many forms of fossil fuels, such as gasoline, are much denser than electrical energy, meaning a consumer who needs to heat their home over the course of a season would end up using less heating oil than the equivalent of what is Part 9 stored in electrical form.
