Governor Markell signs landmark Clean Energy Jobs package
With Delawareans who work in clean energy jobs applauding, Governor Jack Markell Wednesday signed into law four renewable energy bills that together make up the Clean Energy Jobs package, designed to put more people to work in expanding industries such as wind and solar power. The governor signed the package at the MJM Fabrications - SolarDock in New Castle, where he was joined by State Senator Harris McDowell, State Representatives John Kowalko, Gerald Brady, Dennis E. Williams, Tom Kovach, and DNREC Secretary Collin P. O'Mara. The legislation puts protections in place for Delaware ratepayers while also protecting the environment by reducing dependence on fossil fuels and improving air quality.
