What do you think the state or federal governments could do to alleviate the energy problem?

“We need a mass overhaul of infrastructure. More emphasis on biofuel and solar, less on atomic.”

Tristan Quinn Thibodeau, Old Town

“I’d say solar, but since we’re in Maine that’s probably not going to work. Tax breaks to buy hybrids are a good thing.”

Theresa Marotta, Old Town

“Build nuclear plants. I think we have to go that way.”

Sanford Phippen, Hancock

“Offer incentives to car companies to lower the price of hybrids.”

Heidi Smith, Howland

“The government should talk to energy companies about offsetting the cost. As far as the environment goes, they should put more funding into research and development of alternate sources.”

Ryan Clark, Orono

“More incentives for people to use alternative energy sources.”

Mike Proulx, Bangor
