Massachusetts is hot for all the wrong reasons August 6, 2024
Susan Racine, MD, Greater Boston PSR Co-Chair | The Boston Globe
The past 13 months have seen record-breaking heat. Time is running out to limit the global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial averages per the Paris Agreement. We need to address this by halting new fossil fuel infrastructure, protecting environmental justice communities, requiring the utilities to transition off natural gas (a potent driver of climate change), and allowing them to sell thermal energy through network geothermal systems like the pilot project in Framingham. The [Massachusetts] Senate Climate Omnibus bill incorporated more of these measures than the House version, but negotiations for a final bill failed. This is unacceptable.
