Maine's climate superfund bill faces industry pushback, with a letter citing health risks from fossil fuels and urging policy action.

A letter published in the Sun Journal on February 15, 2026, criticizes the petroleum industry for opposing Maine’s proposed climate superfund bill, calling its resistance misleading and part of a long pattern of delaying climate action. The letter cites a 2025 report endorsed by 12 national health organizations linking fossil fuel pollution to serious public health risks, urging policymakers to prioritize accountability and evidence-based solutions over industry obstruction.
