Maine Governor Challenges Trump’s Emissions Rollback | Portland Maine News

Maine’s Governor Janet Mills is sounding the alarm as the Trump administration rolls back emissions rules, threatening Maine’s environment and public safety. The EPA claims loosening regulations on coal and gas plants will save $300 billion and boost energy production, arguing it gives utilities flexibility.
