“The obvious first step is to stop building new buildings powered by gas . . . and also to start doing cost benefit
analyses for all gas pipeline repair versus electrification." Deb Pasternak @MassSierraClub

"The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority has scheduled public hearings for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to hear about the impact of outages that left nearly 1 million customers without electricity for as many as nine days." https://t.co/GGAOiJAONv
“ISO New England had an opportunity here to further the potential for offshore wind development with some of the proposals put forward,” said Phelps Turner, a senior attorney with the Conservation Law Foundation. “And they missed that opportunity.” https://t.co/POrlA1qaNZ
Check out a⚡️NEW⚡️report authored by our own @taylorbinning : "...under current plans and laws, New England’s reliance on natural gas to fuel power plants could drop from 45% to approximately 10% of its electricity needs in 2030" https://t.co/ConYHcBDof
Rather than looking backward, we must look forward to the innovative, clean-energy solutions that our communities need to thrive. It's time to create a cleaner, more equitable future for #MA. @deb_aura1#PeopleOverPolluters#RebuildBetter https://t.co/kvRauIy3Qs
1. Hello all.
Last night I “twote” to a number of public & nonprofit entities to ask if they really oppose MA Senate bill S.2500, “An Act Setting Next-Generation Climate Policy”?
You see, they’re members of a number of organizations that signed a letter opposing S.2500.
The DC Circuit just held 10-1 that @FERC's use of tolling orders, long the ire of landowners and others, are blatantly unlawful. Lots to unpack here. A huge sea-change. #RIPTollingOrders#AlleghenyDefenseProject
NERA filed in response to the overwhelming opposition to its petition about jurisdiction over net metering.
It starts with this - "NERA is a ratepayer advocacy organization."
It's time to make a determined, planned shift away from gas-fired electric and toward renewables. Taylor Binnington, Senior Policy Analyst at @AcadiaCtr, joined the Unnatural Gas podcast to lay out the particulars of New England's energy tipping point.

Bad day for gas pipeline. Also reason number 1,346 why @MassGovernor should stop all construction on the Weymouth compressor station. It's not too late to do the right thing there.
For anybody looking to carve a path to clean energy, we recommend the latest from @AcadiaCtr. New England could be getting 42.3% of its electric from renewables by 2030 w/ fossil fuels cut to 9.2%. We just need the policy direction to get us there.

Enormous applause for @BarrettSenate & @SenJasonLewis for calling out @massforenergy's effort to undermine vital climate legislation on Beacon Hill. Every member of @mahightech & @bostonchamber needs to answer whether this reflects their views. #mapoli
