Maryland governor calls for doubling #publictransit ridership. GOP whines.

O'Malley says state has 'moral obligation' to avert climate change - baltimoresun.com: "The accelerated plan would require the use of more renewable energy, which in the short term could drive up energy costs, and calls for cutting energy consumption by residents. To meet the state-mandated goal of cutting carbon emissions 25 percent by 2020, O'Malley also suggested boosting composting and recycling programs, doubling ridership on public transit, planting more trees and lowering the emissions cap on the state's seven coal-burning power plants."
