Re: “Our View: Green power generates jobs for Maine, not just electricity” (Nov. 15): During this Thanksgiving season, a convergence of leadership is occurring in Maine. The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram Editorial Board rightly opined that our “economic future is tied to the clean-energy transition” and we need to “get it right.” We wholeheartedly […]

Death counts aren’t the only thing that matter in our battle with COVID-19. We also need to consider hospitalizations, hospital workers and all those who don’t die, but who get sick.
