  7. A wind-win for Maryland and a beacon for the bay

    After protesting at a nearby coal plant in 2008 and becoming discouraged with his own dependence on unsustainable energy, Charles County Commissioner Ken Robinson decided to build a wind generator on his coastal property and get off the grid. He became the first individual in Southern Maryland to build one on his land.

  10. End this outrageous 'black liquor' subsidy

    <a href="http://bio.tribune.com/TimWheeler">Tim Wheeler</a>'s most recent article about the fight over black liquor in Maryland's renewable energy standard ("'Black liquor' bill resurrected," March 25) highlights the overwhelming need to reform our state energy policy. Over the last seven years, Maryland ratepayers have spent millions of dollars &mdash; money that was supposed to encourage new clean energy like wind and solar &mdash; on polluting energy from old out-of-state paper mills. The mills receive this subsidy by burning "black liquor," a carbon-rich byproduct of the paper pulping process and other mill residues. The practice of burning these byproducts, for which they receive a subsidy, has been a standard industry practice since the 1930s.

  12. Easter a time to renew — and for renewable wind energy
