There are a number of ways to look at this. On the one had you might take the view that Maine has taken a stand against the limited, check-box methodology of LEED and the narrowness of its approach.
On the other hand, you could equally take the view that environmentalism has been scuppered by political lobbying by companies with a vested interest.
Abandoning LEED without replacing it with an alternative is not the solution though. It's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
