Last week, with a resounding vote of 144-12, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed the Offshore Wind and Clean Ener g y bill. We are especially thrilled because we worked hard to get provisions introduced that would help municipal aggregations access offshore wind. It will now go to the State Senate.

On Thursday, the Massachusetts House and Senate both passed a major new climate bill, An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind. The bill is basically what we expected: a combination of the House ’s emphasis on offshore wind, the Senate ’s emphasis on electric transportation, and some new policies in other areas.
