Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

As a result, 55 Maine borrowers racked up, on average, $110,000 in additional debt before the agency moved to take the homes.

Does anyone out there know anything about heat pumps? We were thinking of having them installed, but a local contractor in Maine told us it would cost us $38,000 to put in a system. I was under the impression that a system would cost $4,000 to $10,000. Am I wrong to think that $38,000 is way too expensive? #HeatPumps#HeatPump#Home#House #Winter#Maine
