Green energy policies and initiatives are raising your rates. The state does not produce enough electricity from "clean" sources to power every home, so we import it from out-of-state, which is costly. The Democrats declared war on fossil fuels, and the result is the cost of replacing them falls on YOU, the consumer.
The Maryland Freedom Caucus submitted legislation today that will reduce your energy bills by this summer. Our bills will:
✅ Gut the Climate Solutions Now Act, Maryland’s version of the Green New Deal, which is driving up costs while providing no immediate energy relief.
✅ End the EMPOWER program, which forces a costly surcharge onto every Marylander’s electric bill without powering a single lightbulb in your home.
✅ Ban the government from outlawing your gas stove or lawn tool or vehicle. Green energy mandates are pricing Marylanders out of their home state and making it unaffordable to stay here.
With these bills, we can provide immediate relief to Marylanders across the state suffering from the high cost of living and energy affordability.
