Stupidity strikes again, this time in the form of Maryland Governor Larry Hogan. An RPS change from 20% to 25% and a move forward was passed by the legislature but vetoed by him. Public support, job gains, driving economy trumped by politics and rhetoric. Total nonsense in my opinion because Maryland was on the cusp of being a terrific market even in an SREC market that was driving prices down. All of this to prop up his reelection campaign with coal donations in my opinion and hoping for some love from the Koch Brothers at ALEC. If you feel like ranting about ALEC, enjoy this…
