- State support for weatherization workforce training and equipment is key to meeting Maine's goals for increased weatherization of Maine homes and businesses.
- The Maine Climate Council's 4-Year Plan for Climate Action- Maine Won't Wait calls for doubling the current pace of home weatherization.
- Weatherization expansion will create training opportunities and quality jobs with family-supporting wages and benefits for every part of Maine.
