Thanks to The Baltimore Sun and FOX45 for the coverage of how our Democratic leadership is lying about why they couldn’t face our energy needs earlier (“Too much political finger-pointing over soaring utility rates,” Feb. 10). They knew about the demand new information technology needed and they knew that we were not producing enough energy.

This might be excused as valor for protecting our planet if the science wasn’t questionable and Gov. Wes Moore’s other decisions weren’t poor. While he says he is saving the planet with shutting down our energy production, he is working for electric cars. The batteries are produced in China where they are made with the sweat of child labor and by the energy of  polluting coal-fired systems!

As he is doing with his budget and the raising of fees, aka taxes, Moore is talking out of both sides of his mouth and saying nothing about the sleight of hand he is doing in the name of serving us. For a better future of all the people and places of Maryland, I believe we need a person of less manipulation of facts, less smoothness, more real leadership and less secret goals.

I beg The Sun and FOX45, as we approach the next election, to please give us a clear picture of all those who lied to us about our energy needs and production.
