This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Hydro electric is less than 30% of Maine’s energy. They’re expanding it but it’s very expensive. Natural gas is also about a third of their energy which is what they need to replace to be fully renewable. Wind power already makes up another third, expanding it makes a lot of sense.
Ah, I must have been thinking renewables was the majority. I used to live there but its been a while!
