Governor O’Malley Acts to Promote “Clean, Reliable and Affordable” Energy
Governor O'Malley recently signed an Executive Order that directs the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to provide a report on the long-term electricity needs of the State of Maryland.
The report that will come from this Executive Order will provide a blueprint for "Clean, Reliable and Affordable" Energy.
This order is modeled after the Comprehensive Energy Bill that the Environmental Community in Maryland worked hard on this past legislative session. We believe it's a step in the right direction and will be a valuable report we can all use for advocating for clean energy in the future.
