A Cleaner, Greener and More Prosperous Future

With over 3,000 miles of coastline, Maryland is one of the most vulnerable states in the nation to climate change, extreme weather, and sea-level rise. So combating climate change isn’t just good for the life in our ecosystems, it’s necessary for our future prosperity and livelihood.

If we’re going to carry Maryland forward, we need to be propelled by ideas, not ideology.

That’s why we set a goal to reduce both per capita peak demand and per capita electricity consumption in Maryland by 15% by 2015.

The sea level was supposed to start rising 30 years ago. I'm still waiting.

Md has already reduced its consumtion by far more than 15% already...because omally and his band of progressive communist have destroyed the economy, jobs, the value of the dollar and taxed us to death!!!! BIG FAT LIAR!!!!!

Electricity consumption has absolutely nothing to do with the 3000 miles of coastline. What a bunch of horse ship. For you Democrats out there, can you really admit you are Democrat? If you do, I feel sorry for you because you are as full of ship as O'Malley.

They are pandering to the rich elitists who donate money to them.

there are so many citizens and businesses that have left Maryland for less taxing and regulating states, that way more than 15% has already been reduced.

Who are the ones who own the coastal property and want it to remain their exclusive domain.

Wind Turbines do not reduce CO2 emissions. Several studies prove this. Why is O'Malley lying?
