 Maine doesn’t have reserves of oil or gas, but that doesn’t mean steps can’t be taken to reduce residents’ heating bills. Environment Northeast, an advocacy group in New England and eastern Canada, has proposed a national efficiency program to reduce heating oil usage. Such programs exist for electricity and natural gas. Expanding the concept to heating oil, which 80 percent of Maine homes rely on, makes sense.
"Energy efficiency means standing up and taking control of the situation, not sitting back to let the situation control us," Michael Stoddard, a lawyer with the group, told the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee last week. Sen. Olympia Snowe is the committee’s senior Republican member.
