Wayne Gretzky once said that his success as a hockey player was because he skated to where the puck was going. The puck in energy is heading towards renewables fast, and if we want to make sure our kids grow up in an economy that is leading the charge, we have to take action now. As governor, I will: Set a deadline for 100% clean and renewable energy and provide 21st-century jobs for the Maryland economy.

Richard Madaleno: Maryland should lead way on renewable energy

As a state Senator, I've fought to end fracking, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and invest in renewable energy resources. As Governor, I will ensure our state is a leader these areas. Two hundred years ago, the first gas lamps in America were turned on in Baltimore. But that was then, and now we need to move on, with that same spirit of innovation, to help us move to the next sources of energy to power future growth.
