Sen. King invites U.S. Secretary of Energy nominee to visit UMaine, Press Herald reports

U.S. Sen. Angus King invited U.S. Secretary of Energy nominee Rick Perry to come to the University of Maine to learn about energy projects UMaine is working on with the federal government, the Portland Press Herald reported. King extended the invitation during Perry’s confirmation hearing before the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee. “(The University of Maine) is an amazing engineering school and engineering facility — offshore wind, testing facility, nanotechnology, 3-D printing, and I think you would find it very illuminating, so I would love to have you come up,” King said at the hearing. Perry accepted King’s invitation. WVII (Channel 7) also reported on the invitation.
