this is a critical FERC response re: Weymouth.

This puts industry on notice- yes, FERC maintains oversight once certificates are issued and final.

(note to industry: stop paying your lawyers to bark up wrong trees)

Despite the headway we’ve made on climate change, it remains an existential threat to our way of life. This challenge requires a global approach and I’m glad MA is doing its part to guarantee a safer planet for future generations. #climatescience #MApoli
