"Maryland is expected to enact new clean energy policies that would require significant reductions in carbon emissions, a move that could shake up the fuel mix in a state that relies on natural gas for more than a third of its power.
A supermajority of members in the Maryland House of Delegates voted this week to advance the “Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022,” which calls on the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions economywide by 50 percent below 2006 levels by 2031 and to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.
Having already passed the Senate, the bill could be vetoed by Gov. Larry Hogan (R), who this month called it a “reckless and controversial energy tax bill.” But state Sen. Paul Pinsky, a Democrat from Prince George’s County and sponsor of the bill, said he expects the Legislature to have enough votes to override a potential veto."
