MD Senate Overrides Veto of Renewable Energy Bill

By Don Rush
[font size=3]ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Maryland Senate has voted to override Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of a bill to increase the state's renewable energy standards.
Media outlets report that the Senate voted 32-13 Thursday to override the veto, two days after the House of Delegates voted on the measure. It means the law is now in effect.
The Senate needed a three-fifths vote, or 29 out of 47 senators. The measure passed last year on a 32-14 vote in the Senate.
The bill would increase requirements to use energy sources like wind and solar power to 25 percent by 2020. That's up from 20 percent by 2022.
