2023-12-21
Avast ye! A mighty Maine agency be postponin' a grand vote on an electric vessel decree due to a storm that hath caused power woes. The Board o' Environmental Protection be holdin' off on the meetin' until further notice. The governor be in a state o' emergency, pursuin' her green energy dreams, matey!
In a twist as unpredictable as the sea itself, the Maine Board of Environmental Protection (BEP) has been forced to delay a vote on a groundbreaking electric vehicle (EV) mandate. Arr, it be a storm of epic proportions that be causin' widespread power outages and puttin' the plans of these landlubbers on hold.The BEP, in all its wisdom, announced that the meeting to approve the EV mandate be postponed indefinitely until further notice. It was supposed to take place on a fine Thursday afternoon, but alas, the storm had other plans. This be quite the blow to Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who be a fierce advocate for green energy.
Her dreams of a greener land have been temporarily thwarted by this state of emergency. But fear not, me hearties, for I reckon she won't be defeated so easily. She be a fierce captain, always ready to face the challenges of the mighty sea, or in this case, a stormy weather.
Now, I be hearin' ye ask, what be this electric vehicle mandate all about? Well, me mateys, it be a plan to require a certain percentage of new vehicles sold in the state to be electric. Aye, ye heard it right! The land of lobsters be takin' a bold step towards a greener future.
But alas, the storm be havin' none of it. It be blowin' with such ferocity that power outages be plaguin' the land. And so, the BEP be forced to batten down the hatches and wait for calmer seas.
But fear not, me hearties, for this delay be only temporary. The crew of the BEP be determined to sail forward with their plans and make Maine a beacon of green energy. So, let us raise our grog and toast to the day when electric vehicles shall rule the roads of this fair state!
