Legislation to quicken the timeline for increasing the use of renewable energy in Maryland overcame a veto and widespread Republican opposition to move forward with becoming law. The legislation requires 25 percent of the state’s electricity to come from renewable sources like wind or solar power by 2020.

Kojo explores the politics at play as well as what the change will mean for Maryland and the rest of the region.
