Maryland's Environmental Progress: Clean Energy, Wind Turbines, and Tech Funds.
TL;DR Summary
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has signed bills into law that aim to reduce the state's reliance on fossil fuels and move towards 100% clean energy by 2035. One bill incentivizes private investment to expand offshore wind capacity to 8.5 GW by 2031, while another requires manufacturers to sell an increasing percentage of zero-emission trucks and buses beginning in 2027. The legislation has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers who argue that it will impact state residents financially. Maryland is one of 17 states that agreed to follow California's emission standards.
