If done correctly, a new state program could help slash climate and health-damaging pollution while promoting clean, electric heat for all Massachusetts residents.
These projects will ramp up clean energy in Maine, helping slow climate change and lower costly electricity bills.
Energy efficiency is not just about conserving energy or changing your old lightbulbs. It’s about getting more bang for your buck with every appliance – and making sweeping changes so that every level of our economy can do the same.
Offshore wind can save us money on our energy bills, provide more electricity in cold temperatures, and slow the effects of climate change.
