Today, a coalition of Maine environmental groups applauded the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) newly proposed carbon pollution standards for new power plants. The proposed standards are a cornerstone of President Obama's Climate Action Plan and come as Mainers begin to feel the early effects of global warming, including lobstermen seeing troubling changes to lobster fisheries, many more getting sick with Lyme Disease, fishermen seeing harmful warming in our trout streams, and people across the state dealing with costly increases in heavy storms and flooding.
