Tell Your Legislators Protect Marylanders from Higher Utility Bills Caused by Building an Expensive New Gas Plant

Some lawmakers in Maryland are proposing legislation to build a new methane gas power plant. Investing in new fossil fuel infrastructure is the opposite of what the state should be doing. Solar, wind, and batteries can provide reliable electricity more affordably and with less pollution than a gas plant. Maryland should embrace clean, renewable energy, not backtrack on our climate commitments. 

That’s why we are asking every Maryland lawmaker to take the following pledge:

“Lowering electricity rates is a top goal in Maryland. I support achieving that goal through increased investments in solar power, utility-scale batteries, energy efficiency, and smart-grid technology. Hard data shows these efforts are faster, cheaper, and better for the environment and human health than a proposal to build a large new gas plant in the state.”

Cosponsors of this pledge include: Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Action Fund, Elders Climate Action, Food and Water Watch, Hoco Climate Action, and 350 MoCo. 

Send a message to your legislators urging them to sign this pledge! Or, thank them if they've already signed.
