Climate change is intensifying and scientists say we must move toward clean energy solutions now to avoid the worst impacts. In Maryland, the biggest single source of global warming pollution is the burning of dirty fossil fuels for electricity. We’re calling on the Maryland General Assembly to act by requiring that 40% of Maryland’s electricity come from clean sources like wind and solar by 2025.

This goal is ambitious — it would double the current goal of 20% by 2022 — but it’s also achievable. Maryland has only scratched the surface of our clean energy potential. By setting the 40%-by-2025 goal, Maryland will create thousands of new jobs per year, make our families healthier, and reduce carbon emissions at a rate equal to taking hundreds of thousands of cars off the road each year.
