ANNAPOLIS — Clean energy and anti-incineration advocates, joined by state legislators, will hold a press conference Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. in support of 100% clean energy in Maryland. The group will also release a new analysis of Maryland’s Renewable Portfolio Standard, showing that a majority of the program meant to incentivize renewable energy actually subsidizes dirty energy. In addition, the majority of the money flows to out of state corporations.

Local organizations who have been working to close the state’s two trash incinerators, which receive millions of dollars in subsidies each year from Maryland ratepayers, will join clean energy proponents in support of aggressive climate legislation. The groups are calling on the Maryland General Assembly to pass Delegate Shane Robinson’s bill to move the state to 100% clean energy by 2035.
