§ 2-1201. Legislative findings
The General Assembly finds that:
(4) The State has the ingenuity to reduce the threat of global warming and make greenhouse gas reductions a part of the State's future by achieving a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2006 levels by 2020 and by preparing a plan to meet a longer-term goal of achieving net-zero statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 in a manner that promotes new “green” jobs, and protects existing jobs and the State's economic well-being;
(6) In addition to achieving the reduction established under this subtitle, it is in the best interest of the State to act early and aggressively to achieve the Maryland Commission on Climate Change's recommended goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10% from 2006 levels by 2012 and by 15% from 2006 levels by 2015;
