Phil Harriman discusses with Charlie Summers the Energy Choice Act (LD 556), which aims to protect Mainers’ right to choose their home heating fuels. Summers highlights the bill’s importance amidst a $500 million budget hole and criticizes the legislature’s focus on banning single-use shampoo bottles. The bill, co-sponsored by Senators Matt Harrington and Joe Baldacci, would prevent towns and cities from banning heating oil, propane, and natural gas, which are used by 70% of Maine homes. Summers urges listeners to support the bill at energychoicemaine.com to ensure energy choice and avoid a single point of failure in heating.
