A Beacon from Beacon Hill: A Case Study from Massachusetts on Leadership in Clean Energy
As we near the end of 2024, I’m pleased to share some good tidings and a bit of hope. While uncertainty hangs heavy on the horizon, Massachusetts offers a bright example of how states can shine when they choose to step up. Governor Maura Healey recently signed a landmark clean energy package that will accelerate clean energy deployment in Massachusetts, and, in turn, will increase local jobs and lower energy costs.
With just days left, we need action on offshore wind
Over a year ago, Connecticut announced its signing of a first-of-its-kind agreement with Rhode Island and Massachusetts that would allow the three states to work together to bring new offshore wind projects to our region. But when Massachusetts and Rhode Island released their offshore wind selections in September, Connecticut was conspicuously absent. Unlike its neighbors, Connecticut has not yet joined in the multi-state offshore wind proposals, and soon it may be too late.

Boston launches coordinated plan to curb gun violence
Isaac Yablo, Mayor Michelle Wu's senior advisor for community safety, says a shortcoming of efforts to rein in those responsible for gun violence in Boston has been that "we gave them the wrong diagnosis and therefore [applied] the wrong solution." He says the nature of gun violence in the city has changed significantly since the bloody days of the 1980s and early 1990s, when city streets were wracked by gang violence that sent Boston's homicide count soaring.
Three steps for turning the power grid around
THE UTTER DEVASTATION of summer flooding in New England and New York and the Canadian wildfire smoke that shrouded the Northeast in an orange haze in June shouts an inescapable truth louder than any voice: Climate change knows no geographic boundaries. Like it or not, the climate crisis is a global and regional issue. We're in it together, and we'll have to get out of it together.

Like anyone in construction, renewable energy developers are all too familiar with process hurdles and delays. But patience wears thin. In the vast PJM Interconnection region stretching from DC to Illinois, a huge pool of solar, wind, and battery storage projects are stuck in the grid operator’s Interconnection queue, often waiting years for technical and cost studies and final approvals needed to connect to the grid.
