Maine veterans show support for climate bill
Associated Press
BATH, Maine —
A group of military veterans from Maine is calling on Maine's U.S. senators to support a global warming bill under debate in Washington.
Speaking at a news conference at Bath City Hall on Thursday, retired Maj. Gen. Donald Edwards of South Bristol and two other veterans urged passage of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act. The bill calls for pollution reduction measures and a shift of energy policies away from fossil fuels.
Edwards said it's in America's national security interests to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
The bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate, where critics say it would lead to higher energy prices.
