that leading environmental groups in Maryland had raised serious concerns about elevating a fossil fuel industry official to a key climate position.
“Juan shares our conviction that addressing climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and his deep understanding of the Public Service Commission was knowledge that would have served Maryland well,” Moore said.“I understand this was a difficult decision for Juan, but respect his decision to withdraw from the confirmation process,” he added. “As we look ahead, my administration is fully committed to achieving Maryland’s bold and necessary climate, energy, and resilience goals.
“Obviously we are aware of the story because we read The Post; we subscribe," Turner said."But I haven’t talked to [Moore] about any noted pushback.”
