Building LNG export facility at Cove Point will mean thousands of jobs and billions of revenue

Eastern Shore officials and conservationists have kicked off a project with four communities — Cambridge, Easton, Salisbury and Snow Hill — to help leaders in those places find ways to use energy more efficiently and with less impact on the environment.

The controversy over exporting liquefied natural gas via the Chesapeake Bay has become an issue in the race for Maryland's State House, at least among the Democratic candidates for governor.Saying the environmental costs are too high, Montgomery County Del. Heather Mizeur announced Friday that she opposes a bid by Dominion, a Virginia-based energy company, to export LNG through a terminal it owns at Cove Point in Calvert County.

There is a simple way to help the environment; one that does not require wearing hemp or even scrapping your car (although that would be nice): Eat less meat.

Layering on another environmental impact statement to the Cove Point LNG export proposal — potentially adding significant delays and expense so soon after another impact statement has been completed — is like asking a driver to begin with a learner's permit every time the license is renewed.

Liquid natural gas exports are key to America's future

Climate change is a looming problem that will affect developed and developing countries.

Aiming to boost the fledgling market for plug-in vehicles, Maryland and seven other states pledged Thursday to use their governments' tax and spending powers to get 3.3 million "zero-emission" cars, trucks and vans on the road in the next dozen years.

Latest report from UN panel shows the threat of man-made climate change is real and should not be ignored

Baltimore's first curbside electric-vehicle charging stations debuted Friday, marking the next step in the establishment of infrastructure to support the spread of plug-in cars and trucks.

EPA rules governing carbon emissions from new power plants give U.S. a chance to make real progress on global warming

Maryland's Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley and Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin joined environmentalists in praising the Obama administration's announcement Friday that it is moving to curb carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants.

A broad coalition of environmental and other groups urged Gov. Martin O'Malley Tuesday to oppose development of a natural gas export terminal on the Chesapeake Bay, calling it an unacceptable environmental and safety threat.

Baltimore transit gets a big boost with $1.5 billion for Red Line and millions more for rail projects that will help define the city's future

Attacks like those on Sept. 11 are catastrophic but rare; our focus on them leads us to ignore more mundane but pressing threats.

Governor's effort to steer Maryland to renewable energy is the right call

Governor O'Malley's latest road map for aggressively reducing greenhouse gas emissions offers a chance for Maryland's economy to bloom as well

Gov. Martin O'Malley said Thursday Maryland has a "moral obligation" to avert climate change and that the state has been falling short of its ambitious goal to cut greenhouse gases emissions by 25 percent by 2020.

Maryland must cut electricity consumption, use more renewable energy to meet requirement to cut carbon emissions

Maryland has taken a leadership role with a comprehensive plan to address climate realities; now others must follow our example

Climate change is hazardous to your health

Baltimore's mini power plants will raise efficiency, save money

Baltimore and other major users of energy are turning to "microgeneration," miniature power plants that look nothing like the sprawling complexes that much of the country relies on for light, heat and air conditioning.

Saying climate change is already under way, a panel of scientists is urging Maryland officials to plan to accommodate rising seas of up to 2 feet along the state's shoreline in the next 40 years alone – and perhaps by nearly six feet by the end of the century.

President Obama's latest climate change plan may prove helpful but U.S. will need to do much more to address the coming storm

President Obama will unveil a sweeping plan today to cut the nation's carbon pollution while also preparing communities for the impacts of climate change. Largely bypassing Congress, he proposes to curb power plant emissions, boost renewable energy production and enhance appliance and building efficiency.

Two climate change advocacy groups are challenging WBAL-TV and Tony Pann, one of the station's meteorologists, for Pann's stance denying that global warming is occurring.
