Coming Clean

I will *cut* you if this isn't passed.

The Dems are dying to scrap up the 218 votes required for the Clean Energy and Security Act, which will be decided tomorrow. The bill would be a huge step in the green direction to help avoid the harsher effects of global warming. The good news is that it would force alternative energy and restrict green house gases.

But that fancy Nancy is concerned about getting enough votes.

PA has been riding the tree-hugging bandwagon for some time now.

Pennsylvania has been creating a renewable energy economy. For four years, the state has been meeting its clean energy goals, and now the legislature is considering to increase the amount of solar power in the state in the new HB 80.

The bill would increase PA's renewable energy target from 8% by 2020 to 20% by 2026, and increase the portion made up of solar from 0.5% in 2020 to 3% by 2026. It would push for stronger initiatives for the development of wind, solar and other clean energy resources to make cleaner energy for PA, according to The Vote Solar Initiative.

Let's hope people can agree on cleaner air.
