Since its creation in 2008, MD’s energy efficiency program, EmPOWER, has yielded $4 in savings for every $1 spent. But EmPOWER can make an even bigger impact if @MarylandPSC makes commonsense reforms. Read more. @RightToZeroDMV

Today, @SenMarkey introduced the All Aboard Act, which would provide $80 billion to expand passenger and high speed rail! This bold bill offers a long-term vision for the U.S. rail system and lays the tracks for an all-electric rail system. 🚆⚡

Days before Thanksgiving, @WUSA9 took down its story about pollutants @BeyondGasDC found in 600+ DC and MD kitchens with gas stoves. Is our local gas utility @washingtongas burying the truth and hiding the danger facing families?

Methane gas is dirty and dangerous. @BeyondGasDC tested the real risks of using gas stoves in your home. The results? More than 2/3 of Maryland and DC homes had unsafe levels of NO2 🤯 ejus.tc/3CSo7g0

A report we released today with our Beyond Gas coalition found that 63% of the 663 homes we tested in Montgomery County & DC exceed EPA’s NO₂ standards from gas stove pollution. Healthy air starts with clean energy solutions.

Beyond Gas D.C. report says researchers found nitrogen dioxide levels over the health standard from the Environmental Protection Agency. wusa9.com/article/tech/scien…

Shortly after Lindsay moved to Baltimore, we measured nitrogen dioxide levels while her gas-burning stove was on. NO2 levels reached more than 4x the EPA’s outdoor safe limit of 100 ppb.
Burning gas indoors isn't healthy. Read @beyondgasdc report: beyondgasdc.org/cooking-up-d…

We've tested >660 gas-burning kitchens for nitrogen dioxide, a health-harming pollutant produced by 🔥 gas. We'll release our findings Thursday. In short: We measured 🚨hazardous🚨 NO2 levels in >6 in 10 kitchens. Join us Fri 11/22 12 pm to learn more: actionnetwork.org/events/bey…

Bravo @baltimoresun! "We think Ocean City’s opposition is overwrought, but perhaps we’re a bit swayed by the thousands of well-paying union jobs associated with #windpower including at Sparrows Point on top of meeting green energy goals." #CleanEnergy baltimoresun.com/2024/10/30/…

GOOD NEWS: @EPA is awarding $3 billion to electrify ports around the nation!
This will kickstart a wave of zero-emissions trucks, charging infrastructure, and port equipment across the United States. We're now a big step closer to an all-electric future.
