Energy
Conservation
Action
and
Tips
Dear
Friends,
I
am
Senator
Phil
Bartlett,
and
I
represent
the
communities
of
Gorham,
Westbrook,
and
Scarborough.
I
am
also
the
Senate
Chair
of
the
Utilities
and
Energy
Committee
and
serve
as
a
member
of
the
Natural
Resources
Committee.
If
ever
there
was
a
time
to
help
families
conserve
energy--that
time
is
now.
We
are
seeing
oil
prices
heading
towards
$100
a
barrel.
You
can
see
it
at
the
gas
station.
Gas
is
well
over
$3
a
gallon.
Home
heating
oil
is
heading
up
to
$3
to
$4
a
gallon.
The
extraordinary
costs
that
are
being
borne
by
Maine
homeowners
are
creating
dire
situations
for
too
many
of
our
families.
That
is
why
I
have
introduced
legislation
to
help
Maine
homeowners
conserve
energy.
Over
the
coming
weeks,
I
will
be
outlining
more
of
the
details
of
my
plan.
In
the
meantime,
we’ve
prepared
this
short
video
that
provides
information
about
things
you
can
do
right
now
to
save
money.

There
are
also
a
number
of
other
tips
available
at
our
Web
site
www.mainesenate. org/energy.
The
bill
ultimately
won
passage,
and
allows
Maine
to
join
at
least
ten
other
states
in
a
carbon
cap
and
trade
program
designed
to
curb
pollution.
Best
Wishes,
Phil
Bartlett
Senator,
District
6
By
the
way,
if
you
have
time,
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
this
short
speech
I
gave
at
the
end
of
last
session
urging
passage
of
the
"Regional
Greenhouse
Gas
Initiative."
