Vineyard Wind 1's First Power marks a huge step forward in our clean energy transition. This will be the largest utility-scale offshore wind farm in North America. Grateful to the advocates, public servants, union workers & business leaders who worked for decades for this moment.

With a new report, MA Climate Chief Melissa Hoffer is aiming to take the state's climate crisis response from planning to implementation. She recommends a suite of reforms, including a re-think of the Mass Save program and eliminating short-hop flights. https://t.co/caZ0yxHr63

@MichaelJayWalsh It will NEVER just wear out. Consider it like a Model T or something - disconnect and put on display somewhere for historical purposes, IF you can get it out of the kitchen. Congrats on new house; where is it? Can’t wait to see your new induction stove. (It’s tax free weekend!)

[Amy Longsworth @AmyLongsworth]

@MichaelJayWalsh It was like living with a temperamental dinosaur. The pilot lights leaked, the griddle took about two hours to heat up, the broiler was weirdly shallow, and the left oven never worked at all.

Yesterday marked @EversourceMA's groundbreaking on the first gas utility-run #networkedgeothermal system in the nation. This progress has been made possible thanks to collaboration across many boundaries. And this is just the beginning! #cleanheat #justtransition #gastogeo

[Governor Maura Healey @MassGovernor]

We're launching the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank – a financial engine for cutting emissions and improving health, equity, and economic security.

It’s the first climate bank focused on affordable housing in the US, and we’re depositing $50M. More: https://t.co/6pRrP86cGa

Big news! Good news!

A Maine jury ruled Thursday that construction can proceed on a transmission line that will carry clean, hydropower from Quebec to Massachusetts — bolstering the efforts to shift its electricity consumption away from carbon-emitting fossil fuels. https://t.co/2AysXpK99A
