PIPKIN: RENEWABLE ENERGY INTIATIVES . . . SPECIFICALLY MARYLAND STATE ENERGY GRANT PROGRAMS


Mr. Pipkin doesn't like Renewable Energy incentives.

He has been the primary opponent for any of Maryland's Renewable Energy Initiatives.

Pay particular attention to the last House Bill HB 74 co-sponsored by our local delegation representatives Elmore, Haddaway, Eckardt, Mathias!!!

Despite having passed the House by a vote of 136-0 it died in the Senate Finance Committee at the 11th hour on the last day of the Session.

And people wonder what their government is doing to wean ourselves from dependence on foreign oil, escalating electric bills!!!

I know because I was there to testify in favor of all the above and Pipken was staunchly opposed to any of the Renewable Energy Initiatives.

So joe, you think it is a good idea for the state to tell everyone that they need to use these forms of renewable energy which are 10 to 12 times more expensive, thus making everyones energy bills 10 to 12% higher?
My last energy bill was already too high and only getting higher, and forcing these inefficient means of energy production down our throat isn't the way to go! Are you also supporting Al Gore for President!
