Massachusetts Set to Pass Landmark Clean Energy Law to Reach Net-Zero by 2050
“Massachusetts is expected to pass clean energy and climate legislation in the coming months that would require the state to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, dividing conservative groups and environmentalists in atypical ways,” reports David Iaconangelo in E&E News.
“The state House and Senate, which are both controlled by Democrats, have yet to agree on final language. But both chambers have passed bills backing the net-zero goal, and Republican Gov. Charlie Baker has declared that his administration is planning to meet it.”
“If enacted, the law would place Massachusetts among a handful of states requiring a carbon-neutral economy by midcentury.”
