The two offshore wind farms proposed for Maryland would bring thousands of jobs to Baltimore and the Eastern Shore and provide enough clean power for over 500,000 homes - but this fall, we'll need to fight for the permits they need before Maryland sees these benefits.

House Votes on Oil and Gas Activity - Security Doesn't Come From Extremism
Stop these bad bills now! By Lynn Thorp, National Campaigns Director This week's U.S. House votes around oil and gas activities demonstrate that extreme views can easily dominate public policy debate. Masquerading behind titles including words like "energy security" these three bills are about none of that. These bills would eliminate federal oversight of oil and gas drilling on public lands, including removing the baseline protections for clean water and public health which we would expect to apply to this activity wherever it occurs. One bill would put absurd restrictions on the
