After a decade away from journalism, I'm happy to return as a freelance reporter! Read my first story for the @MDDailyRecord, on Maryland's push for clean energy:

Gov. Wes Moore set an ambitious goal: By 2035, 100% of Maryland’s electricity will come from clean energy. Will that happen? https://t.co/ELJEDkJNjQ

Below, a quick thread on what my Comment is about. (1/10)

[Zachary Reger @ZacharyReger]
