Massachusetts lawmakers are looking to reconcile two broadly different approaches to following up on the state's landmark 2021 climate bill.

The Massachusetts Senate passed An Act Driving Climate Policy Forward with a broad set of policies for decarbonizing energy, transportation and buildings.

Sen. Ed Markey has set his sights on ISO-NE, accusing the grid operator of being part of an "oil and gas conspiracy."

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker filed a bill to authorize $9.7 billion he says will prepare the state for funding from the federal infrastructure bill.

Massachusetts legislators say that allowing fossil fuel heating in new buildings under a proposed net-zero building code does not make sense.

A bill on public transit electrification in Massachusetts would set a goal of transitioning all bus and rail service by 2035.

After passing an extensive climate law earlier this year, Mass. must look closely at the pathways for rapid decarbonization, consultant Dan Allegretti said.

Some Massachusetts legislators want the Department of Public Utilities to speed up efforts to reduce natural gas use to meet the state's climate goals.

Sen. Michael Barrett says that “from a legislative view, there is no one focused on responsibility” for the role Mass Save plays in electrification.

Fred Beddall, a full-time commercial farmer in Massachusetts, says that a dual-use policy for solar on agricultural lands needs to be re-examined.
