MD The Maryland League of Conservation Voters applauds Governor Glendening for signing the Green Power and Energy Efficiency Executive Order.
Air pollution can cause severe human health and environmental impacts.
Health threatening pollutants, gasses that contribute to global warming and nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay are all byproducts of fossil fuel burning power plants. The Maryland League supports energy conservation and renewable energy measures that will reduce the pollution associated with the generation of electricity. MSW or incinerator energy is not generally considered green power by the environmental community or clean energy experts.
