Maine's LD 1870 would make major fossil fuel companies pay for climate damage in the state.
Maine is advancing LD 1870, a climate superfund bill that would require major fossil fuel companies responsible for over 1 billion metric tons of emissions with ties to the state to fund climate damage repairs and resilience efforts.
Inspired by the federal Superfund law, the bill targets large polluters, not individual citizens, citing decades of known climate risks and public misinformation.
It aims to shift costs from taxpayers to corporations, addressing billions in infrastructure damage, extreme weather impacts, and rising health risks like asthma and tick-borne diseases.
The legislation follows similar laws in Vermont and New York, and a statewide “Make Polluters Pay” day of action on January 27 will showcase climate damage through photo exhibits to urge passage.
