PASSED in the @MA_Senate: #ClimateActionNow bill championed by @BarrettSenate & @tomtipagolden! Proud to vote YES and see anti-biomass provisions included to protect the Springfield area. This is a big win for environmental justice, equity, and greenhouse gas reductions. https://t.co/YEh498cEZL
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection has revoked the permit for the proposed biomass facility in Springfield! This is a major victory for our region and everyone who has stood against this project. https://t.co/oNVdsXe4th
Vocational education is a vital step in the climate transition. We can<U+2019>t hook up EV charging stations without electricians, and we can<U+2019>t make our buildings sustainable without carpenters. To save the Earth, we need to save the trades! #mapoli
Our Commonwealth’s roadmap for net-zero by 2050 is officially law!! Great day for the environment, clean energy jobs, and transportation! https://t.co/9EchAhNbiZ
Does anyone think burning 2,000 lbs of wood chips a minute, 24 hours a day, all gushing 2,490 lbs of ash and hour into the air, is clean energy? Biomass is NOT clean and should NOT get subsidized from ratepayers. Take it out of the RPS standard! https://t.co/ungRWlq7XM

GOOD NEWS FOR THE 413: sets a 5 year moratorium on municipal light plants ability to claim biomass plants like the one proposed in Springfield are "non-carbon emitting" - a major win for environmental justice. THANK YOU @BarrettSenate & @tomtipagolden! https://t.co/kFYP1v8oz4
You<U+2019>ve always been on the right side of issues, @BenDowningMA, especially the climate crisis, and giving voice to our Commonwealth<U+2019>s forgotten corners. A hard decision, but I<U+2019>m excited to see what you take on next, and will be cheering you on! https://t.co/HFjYAmYdeU
Today<U+2019>s SCOTUS ruling, curtailing the ability of the EPA to combat the climate crisis, means that leadership must come from the states. Now more than ever, MA must pave the way on clean energy and transportation. #mapoli
