Wolf’s Climate Plan Falls Short
For Immediate Release
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf unveiled an executive order that aims to reduce the state’s carbon emissions by 26 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by 2050 (based on 2005 levels).
In response, Food & Water Watch Pennsylvania Director Sam Bernhardt released the following statement:
“Pennsylvania can do so much more to combat the climate crisis by moving our state to 100% renewable energy by 2035 while creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in a Green New Deal program.
“Governor Wolf, the people of Pennsylvania and future generations deserve a much more aggressive approach to combating the existential crisis of our time.”
