The purpose of the Energy Assurance Plan is to provide the Governor, the Legislature, the Executive Departments, the energy industry and the general public with a clear, concise and comprehensive blueprint and strategy to address a potential or actual energy emergency caused by a supply disruption, a rapid and unsustainable increase in energy prices or other energy emergency situation. The OEIS created Maine’s first energy emergency plan in 2008 in response to Maine citizens’ increasing vulnerability to rapid price escalations, fossil fuel supply curtailments and infrastructure disruptions. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided states with an opportunity to revise the plan to build greater capacity and resiliency for energy assurance and emergency planning and response. The State of Maine Energy Assurance and Emergency Management Plan is designed to be a living document that will be presented to the U.S.

  • 2012 Environmental Scorecard
    2012 Environmental Scorecard for Members of the 125th Maine Legislature The Next Page on Maine’s Environment The 125th Legislature will be remembered as one of the toughest periods for Maine’s environment. It will be remembered for Governor Paul LePage’s sweeping attacks on the laws that protect our health, natural heritage and way of life. It will be remembered for remarkable bipartisan leadership on a “takings” bill that threatened to freeze passage of future environmental laws and a last-minute bill that weakens mining regulations. Finally, it will be remembered as the time when Maine people came together like never before to defend our waters, woods and wildlife. As we look back on the session, there are many stories to tell. Some are hopeful, some discouraging, and some are a little of both. A bright spot of the session was the bipartisan support for a $5 million Land for Maine’s Future (LMF) bond, but in contrast, the passage of an open-pit mining bill presents a troubling look towards the future. For more than two decades, LMF has conserved more than 532,000 acres that secure public access Photo: Olivia Gatti for recreation, conserve our most important habitats, preserve Maine’s farming traditions and protect the natural infrastructure vital to both our sense of place and our economic future. A logger and hunter who has spent much of his time in Maine’s woods, former State Senator David Trahan of Waldoboro cares deeply about protecting wildlife habitat. He now heads the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine (SAM), and used his passion for deer yards and his experience as a former legislator to work with a diverse group of partners to garner broad support for LMF.

  • State of Maine Politics Has Changed — Not for the Better
    Posted: October 31 Updated: Today at 6:37 PM MIKE TIPPING: State of Maine politics has changed — not for the better click image to enlarge Select images available for purchase in the Maine Today Photo Store Elections in a bad economy are expected to be bad for incumbents. Policy and ideology aside, an electorate in a tight financial spot is likely to adopt a “throw the bums out” mentality. Rarely, however, has populist anger been channeled so effectively by corporate dollars and corporate media toward a single goal, and rarely has it had such an effect in Maine. If recent polls are right, Maine is about to elect Paul LePage as our next governor. A few months ago, few would have thought LePage, viewed as one of the most extreme candidates running for governor in the country, would find that kind of support here, where voters are known for their moderation. It’s true LePage might not be winning if the two other major candidates in the race — Democrat Libby Mitchell and independent Eliot Cutler — weren’t fighting for the same pool of voters, while Republicans are mostly in lockstep. What’s new about this situation, however, isn’t the fragmentation of the middle and left (an ex-Democrat turned independent and a Green Party candidate together took about 30 percent of the vote in the last election and Democratic Gov. John Baldacci still won), it’s the hardening of conservative opinion and support. The first signs of this polarization came when Tea Party activists and LePage supporters swamped the Republican state convention and dramatically altered the party platform, creating a document that calls for the elimination of the Department of Education and rails against the “global warming myth” and “efforts to create a one-world government.” The strength of this new hard right was confirmed when LePage won the Republican nomination by a wide margin while spending so much less than his six opponents.
