Protecting Maryland farms from unrealistic energy goals

Maryland has always been a leader in protecting our environment. Whether it be agricultural nutrient management, industrial pollution abatement or sustainable land management, the state has set goals to preserve our resources, including our beloved Chesapeake Bay. All Marylanders care about the environment and understand the importance of addressing pollution-related issues. However, we do not think that Maryland policymakers always consider how these ambitious goals may detrimentally impact their constituents during the transition and alter the fabric of our state.
