Submit art to showcase the wonders of offshore wind!
Maryland needs to not only say no to crude oil infrastructure and other fossil fuels, but say yes to renewable energy that will bring clean power and good green jobs to our state. That's why we're working to make Maryland the first state in the country to buy in big on offshore wind. 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.

Baltimore beats bomb trains!

It’s Not Always Sunny in Philadelphia
By Bob Wendelgass, President & CEO. Follow Bob on Twitter - @BWendelgass It rained yesterday here in Philadelphia--which reminded me why we need to restore protection under the Clean Water Act to all our streams and wetlands. When it rained, lots of small streams in my part of the city popped back into life, carrying rainwater downstream to the larger Wissahickon Creek and eventually to the Schuylkill River. Most of these small streams go dry between rainstorms, but they play a big role when it rains. They carry rainwater off the land, feeding water into their larger downstream cousins, and
