Cambridge, Massachusetts — [On Thursday], Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker signed into law a new clean energy and transportation bill.

Below is a statement by Paula García, senior bilingual energy analyst in the Climate and Energy Program at UCS.is here. We need to act quickly to cut the pollution that’s warming our planet and putting people in danger. Fortunately, Massachusetts is showing the way forward. “This law will make an important difference in our ability to move away from fossil fuels. It will spur more development of responsible clean energy for the Commonwealth, includingand rooftop solar generation—and make sure that clean-energy jobs are good jobs that can support families. It will help more Massachusetts drivers make the switch to cleaner electric vehicles and electrify public transit buses. And it will encourage cleaner ways to heat and cool our homes.
“This bill must not be the end of our efforts to fight climate change and build a cleaner and more equitable energy system here in Massachusetts. Our Commonwealth must be a national leader on renewable electricity, cleaner transportation, and monitoring and improving air quality, especially in the communities most affected by pollution. But today marks a clear step in the right direction, and the state legislature and governor deserve credit for getting it done.
