BOSTON - Energy Secretary Kathleen Theoharides said Tuesday that the Baker administration is exploring more aggressive carbon reduction targets for Massachusetts, including what it would take to go net-zero by 2050, but would not commit to lawmakers to speeding up the state’s emission reduction goals.
The
way to achieve net zero is not to re-classify dirty biomass fuel as clean. You
might be able to fool some of the public that way, but you won’t fool Mother
Nature.
Please
build Massachusetts' energy future around truly clean technologies such as wind
and solar. We need to protect and preserve our forests so they can continue to
remove and sequester some of the excess CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere.
