Description:

From the Sub-Series:

Material includes memos, reports, notes, and correspondence. Major issues include the economic and environmental impact of different energy sources, including nuclear energy, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric, and tidal. Particular attention was given to taxes on oil and federal assistance programs such as Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the purpose of which was to keep heating costs down for Maine citizens. Some files focus on the benefits and potential hazards of nuclear energy. This series also includes early records on the Dickey-Lincoln hydroelectric project. Energy legislation is usually considered by the senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The records were primarily created by Steve Hart, with some general files maintained by Deborah Cotter. Most of the early records on this subject were maintained by Grace Reef and Martha Pope.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
