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.
