Maine lawmakers have passed a bill that moves up the state's timeline to reach net zero carbon emissions. The new law would require the state's energy office to expand Maine’s existing Renewable Portfolio to 90% by 2040, focusing on rooftop wind, solar, and battery storage produced here in the state. The remaining 10% will be dedicated to a new category of clean resources, like hydropower.

Organizers in dozens of Maine communities held 'No Kings' protests Saturday. The rallies were planned to coincide with Saturday's military parade in Washington, D.C. in honor of the Army's 250th birthday, which was also Flag Day and President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. The protests also come on the heels of the Trump administration deploying the National Guard and Marines to quell protests of ICE deportations in Los Angeles.
