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.
Offshore wind can save us money on our energy bills, provide more electricity in cold temperatures, and slow the effects of climate change.
Wood biomass electricity delays our transition to clean energy that won’t spew pollution and damage our climate.
As a skiing enthusiast, New England’s snowy slopes are my winter haven. But climate change is threatening them, and so much more.
A newly approve facility will turn methane gas leaked from the Juniper Ridge landfill into energy, but it’s really just a way for the fossil fuel and waste industries to maintain the status quo.
From better batteries to more public charging stations, electric cars can take New England winters like a champ.
“Most hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels, so it cannot be considered clean energy,” said Shannon Laun, Vice President of CLF Connecticut and an appointed member of the task force. “As the report makes clear, the way hydrogen is produced is a critical piece of the puzzle. Investing in dirty hydrogen could actually increase emissions and make it harder to meet our climate goals, but clean hydrogen certainly has promise for uses that are hard to electrify.”
Maine received our first snowfall of the season a few weeks ago. As I woke up on that Monday morning, I was greeted by flurries outside my window and the gentle rumble of my heat pump warming my home. Having lived in New England my entire life, I know our winters are no joke – and… Continue reading Why Are New England’s Electricity Prices Increasing This Winter?
“With climate impacts already at our doorsteps, now is the time to take action for the future,” said Caitlin Peale Sloan, Vice President of CLF Massachusetts. “This plan is on the right track, especially when it comes to phasing out fossil fuels in our homes and on our roads. But we need to do more on environmental justice to make sure that no communities are left behind in the years ahead.”
