House Democratic Policy Committee Considers Alternative Energy Issues
|
|
The House Democratic Policy Committee held a public hearing this week at Allan Myers Inc. to look more closely at alternative energy issues, according to Chairman Mike Sturla (D-Lancaster).
Southeastern Pennsylvania lawmaker Rep. Matthew Bradford (D-Montgomery) requested the hearing and served as its co-chairman.
"As our state and national economies recover there has been an added emphasis on implementing clean energy strategies," Rep. Sturla said. "Rep. Bradford has been a leader in shaping the future of Pennsylvania's energy policy and I applaud his foresight and thank him for bringing the Policy Committee to Worcester to examine these policies more closely."
Rep. Bradford added, "Alternative Energy is not only necessary to ensure a cleaner environment, the technologies being utilized present us an opportunity to create the green jobs of the future. Today's hearing is an important step in implementing policies in Pennsylvania to make that a reality."
Those testifying at the hearing included John Hanger, Secretary, Department of Environmental Protection; Jan Jarret, president, PennFuture; David Masur, executive director, PennEnvironment; Reiner Jaeckle, founder and chief operations officer, Metro-Tek Electrical Services; Rob Colucci, senior director of Energy and Sustainability, Merck & Company; Maureen Mulligan, representative for Solar Alliance & Mid-Atlantic Solar Energy Industries Association/PA Division; and Eric Thumma, senior REC originator, Iberdrola Renewables.
Copies of testimony will be available on the Committee webpage.
