On Thursday, Feb. 20, the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) will begin reviewing permits for Dominion's $3.8 billion fracked-gas export facility on the Chesapeake Bay. 
Join hundreds -- from the fracking fields of Pennsylvania to the Western mountains of Maryland to the DC suburbs and the Eastern Shore -- to show that people across our region want clean energy and safe communities, not a mega-facility for exporting dirty fracked gas. SIGN UP here and indicate if you want to ride a bus to the rally.
Carpools and/or bus will be leaving at 11 a.m. from The Meeting House - the  Oakland Mills Interfaith Center, 5885 Robert Oliver Place, Columbia, MD 21045

Whether or not you were a Clean Currents customer, we hope you will still choose renewable energy for your home.
