(Raleigh, NC - July 23, 2007) Environmental Defense today saluted the Energy and Energy Efficiency Committee of the NC House for improving and endorsing a proposed policy to establish the state’s first renewable energy and efficiency standard. The following statement may be attributed to Michael Shore, senior air policy analyst with the NC Office of Environmental Defense.
“This is a much better bill than the one lawmakers first discussed. A renewable energy and efficiency standard is a cornerstone for reducing global warming pollution and cleaning the air. It is one of a series of steps that the state should take to curtail the need for new, expensive nuclear and coal plants. Committee Chair Pricey Taylor Harrison is to be commended for strong leadership that achieved significant improvements in the bill.”
