August 11, 2022 /3BL Media/ - Ceres applauds Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and the state legislature for further establishing the Commonwealth’s climate leadership by finalizing an Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind, an ambitious package of investments to further establish the state as a national hub for the offshore wind industry, advance clean transportation priorities, and accelerate efforts to decarbonize buildings across the Commonwealth.

由立法者在立法会议的最后一天终止并由州长贝克签署,新立法对于实现2021年州法律建立的目标至关重要,这是马萨诸塞州气候政策的下一代路线图,其中包括一项法律到2050年,要求实现零排放净经济的要求。

“我们为贝克州长和马萨诸塞州总法院再次表示赞赏,再次证明了大胆而务实的气候领导能力可以两党基础完成。这项交易需要立法会议厅和州长办公室之间的妥协和合作。”Alli Gold Roberts, senior director of state policy, Ceres. “States have been critical leaders in establishing a U.S. policy environment built to fight the climate crisis and establish a robust clean energy economy that will create jobs, reduce energy costs, and support new innovative industries. The measures signed by the governor today will be essential for Massachusetts to achieve this vision and meet the aggressive climate targets the Commonwealth set last year. It will also ensure Massachusetts remains a national powerhouse in the flourishing offshore wind industry that is already generating legions of well-paying jobs and will secure reliable, affordable, clean power for businesses and households statewide. Today, Massachusetts again stands as a gleaming example that smart climate policy is also smart economics — which is why this package is just the latest clean energy initiative to garner strong support from the state’s business community.”

该法案的主要规定包括:

  • 新的工业政策,以帮助发展离岸风能行业和辅助业务。
  • 增加激励措施,以帮助公司和居民购买电动汽车。
  • Initiatives to more quickly electrify public transit and school buses.
  • 清洁建筑物的新努力,包括:法律变更将使某些社区能够在新建筑中结束化石燃料的使用;一个计划,以衡量和跟踪大型建筑物的排放;并调整大众节省计划,该计划将进一步优先考虑清洁加热系统并增加低收入家庭和租房者的参与。
