Issue Position: Investing in a Clean Energy Future

Issue Position

Climate change is real and it is happening right at this moment. I share our community's deep concern about climate change -- and I know that investing in clean energy is key to the future of our state.

I have been working on multiple clean energy policies, including raising both the renewable portfolio standard and the net metering cap. I am also in strong support of policies that promote environmental justice. Although there is still much work to do, I am proud that the Legislature has made significant investments in energy storage technology, which will be absolutely vital to transforming our grid to 100% renewable sources and to promoting electric vehicles, which will decarbonize our transportation sector -- the sector that produces the most emissions (40%) in MA.
