Ruth’s Blog has an informative entry entitled “An energy plan we can all back.” There is a bi-partisan effort to encourage a “renewable electricity standard.” Don Lehe (R-Brookston) and Dale Grubb (D-Covington) introduced a bill that called for 10% of Indiana’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2016. (I believe this is referring to HB 1379-2006 introduced by Rep. Lehe, but I don’t see Rep. Grubb’s name on the bill or in the legislative action.) This was endorsed by Senator Lugar and Rep. Visclosky. That bill is set for review by the Regulatory Flexibility Committee.
The Indiana Coalition for Renewable Energy and Economic Development is urging Governor Daniels to include a Renewable Energy Standard in his energy plan which will apparently be released on Friday.
