Equity in energy: A challenge and an opportunity

Stephen Pike Stephen Pike is CEO of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. Massachusetts has come a long way since the first Earth Day in 1970. Our air is more breathable, our water more drinkable, our beaches are cleaner and our rivers more fishable. Equally important, our pre-pandemic economy thrived, particularly the clean energy sector. In of 2019, the state’s clean energy industry included nearly 114,000 workers and had grown nearly 90% since 2010. But, as we celebrate this tremendous progress, we must also acknowledge the reality that these health and economic benefits have not accrued evenly across all communities in the Commonwealth. As we find the Commonwealth at a turning point in the battle against climate change, it is imperative that we confront these disparities as we pursue an equitable clean energy future.

In MA, a new climate law can help us build a greener Somerville

By Justin Klekota As we celebrate Earth Day this month, we remember that the greatest challenges facing humanity require the cooperation of the entire global community. As the heroic efforts of our public health and medical professionals to fight the pandemic continue, we must resolve to build a healthier, greener future. Massachusetts has the opportunity to lead given the historic climate legislation passed into law last month that empowers our Commonwealth to reduce fossil fuel emissions to combat the threat of glacial melting and sea level rise along our coastlines and waterways. Somerville and municipalities throughout the world must meet this challenge to combat the climate crisis by reducing our fossil fuel emissions by 50% in 2030 and to net zero by 2050 or sooner. 

Saving the iconic N E three-decker from fire and bulldozers

Cameron Sperance Boston.com correspondent April 20, 2021 3:56 pm As city leaders and architects across New England consider ways to reinvigorate the three-decker, others are weighing in on why they fell out of favor and how to improve them even without a costly renovation. From South Boston to Fall River, and even on the silver screen in Boston-based films like “Spotlight,’’ “Good Will Hunting,’’ and “The Departed,’’ the three-decker remains an iconic housing stock. Think of it as the original form of affordable housing: Relatives would often live in each of the three residences that comprise the relatively inexpensive-to-develop building, or they might even rent one out for income. “Living in or near a New England triple decker,’’ the New York Times wrote, “was like despising the Yankees or skipping work on St. Patrick’s Day.’’

After Years Of Uncertainty, Expected Decision On Vineyard Wind Could Launch New Industry

The New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal on the Acushnet River. (Robin Lubbock/WBUR) New Bedford s Marine Commerce Terminal is a huge spread of open concrete jutting into the harbor. On a recent day, a few refrigerated trucks were unloading seafood at a processing plant next door, but the terminal itself just looked like a giant empty parking lot. As the wind swept across the vast space, the biggest action was the crowds of seagulls hunkered down, squawking at each other. This is where Bruce Carlisle wants you to use your imagination. In my mind s eye, I see the tower sections stacked and lined up. I see the blades all ready to go. I see forklifts and cranes and crawlers and just all sorts of activity, says Carlisle, managing director of offshore wind at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, or MassCEC.
