Coverage of Department of Energy Grant
Several media outlets covered the news that UMaine has received a $1.2 million grant to improve sensors that could help cut carbon dioxide emissions and energy costs. The Bangor Daily News interviewed Robert Lad, a UMaine professor of physics who works on the sensors with fellow engineering professor Mauricio Pereira da Cunha. The Central
Maine Morning Sentinel carried an Associated Press report which included comments from U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud about the grant’s potential to create jobs and improve use of
domestic energy sources.
