Get Smart about Energy

HB 522: You wouldn't build a house without a blueprint, but right now Maryland is making decisions about how to construct its energy future without a blueprint. Maryland has committed to ambitious goals to achieve clean, affordable, and reliable energy that will create thousands of new jobs in Maryland but we need a statewide plan to ensure that we achieve those goals.

Smarter Transportation Choices for Maryland

SB51, SB624, HB760, HB282, and HB461: Our transportation system is fundamentally broken. Our policies are not in line with our values when we continue to build more roads that add to our greenhouse gases, keep us in our cars and affect our way of life. We need transportation dollars to be spent in ways that create jobs, improve public health and improve the environment. We need a better, safer, cleaner way to get where we need to go.
