Gov. Moore: It’s time to transition to 100% clean and renewable energy
States across the country are committing to 100% clean, renewable electricity and Maryland should be next!
Maryland is finalizing its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan to implement our goal of reaching 60% emissions reductions by 2031.
Maryland is working to finalize its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan by the end of the year to lay out how the state plans to meet its ambitious climate goals required by the Climate Solutions Now Act (CSNA) of 2022.
The Maryland Department of Environment released their draft Climate Pathway report in June, and this week collected final comments from Marylanders on how the state can reduce climate emissions 60% by 2031.
The Maryland’s Climate Pathway report includes a vast set of recommendations for further policies needed to hit the goals laid out in the Climate Solutions Now Act including:
Maryland PIRG and Environment Maryland provided feedback on the plans with a particular focus on energy efficiency and 100% clean energy.
In addition, Maryland PIRG and Environment Maryland joined a dozen groups providing feedback on how to reduce emissions from our homes and buildings.
As the Pathways Report and feedback make clear, global warming solutions are all around us – we just need to use them. By implementing these solutions, we can give our children and grandchildren the healthier future they deserve.
States across the country are committing to 100% clean, renewable electricity and Maryland should be next!
