(Harrisburg, PA) The Trump administration’s rollback of clean energy progress and climate science is eliciting a strong response from Pennsylvania. Governor Josh Shapiro has already sued the Trump administration, leading to the release of two-billion dollars in federal aid. Now, Shapiro is pushing ahead with a six-part proposal to expand clean energy projects. Molly Parzen with Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania says despite Trump’s efforts to stall progress on clean energy and fighting climate change, the Shapiro plan should boost Pennsylvania’s economy. Parzen points out the plan would also set a target that Pennsylvania generate 35-percent of its energy from clean sources by 2035 but critics of the Lighting Plan say it could sustain, or even increase, fossil fuel production in the state.
