缅因州1870年的LDD 将使主要的化石燃料公司 为国家气候破坏付出代价。 Maine's LD 1870 would make major fossil fuel companies pay for climate damage in the state.

缅因州正在推进1870年LDD, 这是一项气候超级基金法案, 要求主要化石燃料公司承担超过10亿公吨的排放量, Maine is advancing LD 1870, a climate superfund bill that would require major fossil fuel companies responsible for over 1 billion metric tons of emissions with ties to the state to fund climate damage repairs and resilience efforts. 在联邦超级基金法的启发下,该法案针对的是大型污染者,而不是个别公民,列举了数十年来已知的气候风险和公众错误信息。 Inspired by the federal Superfund law, the bill targets large polluters, not individual citizens, citing decades of known climate risks and public misinformation. 其目的是将成本从纳税人转移到公司,解决基础设施破坏、极端天气影响以及哮喘和滴虫传播疾病等健康风险不断上升等数十亿美元的问题。 It aims to shift costs from taxpayers to corporations, addressing billions in infrastructure damage, extreme weather impacts, and rising health risks like asthma and tick-borne diseases. 立法遵循佛蒙特州和纽约的类似法律, 1月27日是全州范围的“让污染者付费”行动日, The legislation follows similar laws in Vermont and New York, and a statewide “Make Polluters Pay” day of action on January 27 will showcase climate damage through photo exhibits to urge passage.
