Environment/Energy

“While many politicians recklessly continue to ignore the climate crisis in our country, I have diligently worked to address the environmental issues which threaten the commonwealth. It is imperative that we invest in clean energy alternatives to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and other environmentally unsound resources. I have supported legislation which increases the Commonwealth’s use of clean energy by requiring electrical suppliers to speed up their transition to alternative energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power. I have also worked to identify Hazardous waste sites in my district and supported legislation which provides for recourses to clean up any such sites. The 179th district will be no ones dumping ground.”
