Fearless leader is at is again. His idiocy knows no bounds. He is doing his utmost to ruin the economy of MD, and all the other libtard-lemmings are helping him.
ANNAPOLIS (Feb. 20, 2008) - Supporters of one of the most ambitious global warming bills in the country said Tuesday its implementation could motivate other states to follow suit, but opponents argued it would hurt Maryland's economy while failing to significantly affect the environment.
The Global Warming Solutions Act, which died in committee last year, had its first hearing before the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental Affairs Committee Tuesday.
The bill calls for a 25 percent reduction in 2006 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and a 90 percent reduction by 2050. It has broad support from Democrats, but not Republicans, in both the House and Senate.
Gov. Martin O'Malley gave it his "strong, strong support" in a press conference prior to the hearing,
"Our coastlines are eroding, our planet is warming, and we have to do a better job," O'Malley said. He acknowledged concerns that Maryland would be unable to meet the goals or to adapt economically.
"We really don't have a choice," he said.

Where does he think the money is going to come from when he closes steel mills and powerplants and we have to buy energy from out of state sources. Effing moron. I love Maryland, but I won't stay here.
