ANNAPOLIS,  MD — On Monday March 5th, dozens of Maryland residents and clean energy advocates will rally outside the State House in support of 100% clean energy. The event will precede a hearing in the House Economic Matters committee of the “100% Clean Renewable Energy & Equity Act”, which would require all of Maryland’s electricity to come from clean sources by 2035.

Advocates will also release a new technical and fiscal analysis of the bill, recently completed by Arjun Makhijani, Ph.D. of the Maryland-based Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. The analysis shows how 100% clean energy can be achieved, and what the impacts on employment and ratepayers would be. 

What: Rally and press conference on 100% clean energy legislation

When: Monday, March 5, 1 p.m.

Where: Lawyer’s Mall, 100 State Circle, Annapolis MD

Speakers:

  • Delegate Shane Robinson
  • Arjun Makhijani, PhD, Institute for Energy & Environmental Research
  • Emily Wurth, Food & Water Watch
  • Tim Whitehouse, Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility
  • Al Bartlett, Maryland Sierra Club
  • Ann Bristow, Frack-Free Frostburg
