The #HousingCrisis & the #ClimateCrisis must be addressed together. We can no longer let our communities, particularly black & brown communities, be displaced by speculative investors buying up properties & jacking up rent.

We could improve our solar + farming (agrivoltaics) program and IX situation :) so we can actually get MWs in the ground while keeping farmers farming for another generation. #mapoli 1000MW+ of solar in the SMART program stalled in MA.

The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe

An alarming new report on climate change raises a difficult question for Massachusetts, already ahead of most states on climate policy. Is it even possible to move faster? https://trib.al/qHy7zwc

“What if I told you… this wasn’t a question of how liberal we are? 🙄 Or that what happens to literally five one-hundred-thousandths of a percent of the Earth’s surface area…. won’t matter for the planet’s mean surface temperature at all? #mapoli

Sabrina Shankman @shankman

On Monday, UN Sec-Gen. @antonioguterres said that in response to the dire IPCC report, developed nations should aim for net-zero by 2040. That's 10 years before MA's goal, so we asked the question: In liberal MA, is it even possible to move faster?
