Massachusetts and Rhode Island have both committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions economy-wide to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Achieving these required reductions means zeroing out emissions associated with heating our homes and businesses, which means phasing out the combustion of fossil fuels for heat.

that commits their states to continued participation in a regional effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fuels for vehicles and other uses. The Commonwealth’s Clean Energy Biofuels Act, signed in July 2008, also required Massachusetts to seek an agreement with its fellow RGGI member states to implement a LCFS on a regional basis.

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. But limits to these technologies can undermine the case for a renewables-only electricity mix. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real.

To the extent that fuels are used in one state to generate electricity that is consumed in another state, emissions are attributed to the former rather than the latter. California consistently imports about 30% of its electricity and natural gas is the dominant fuel for the electricity that it generates internally.

With tech giants, utilities, and governments budgeting upwards of US $1 trillion for capital expansion to join the global battle for AI dominance, data centers are the bunkers, factories, and skunkworks—and concrete and electricity are the fuel and ammunition. That gas also usually heads straight into the atmosphere.
