Massachusetts has the know-how to move away from our dependence on oil,
coal and nuclear power and toward a cleaner, more secure future. We
need to move the Commonwealth in a new direction that puts our national
security, our environment, our global climate and our childrens'
futures first.
We
can make cars that go 100 miles on a gallon of gas. Wind turbines and
solar panels can supply power to millions of homes and businesses. We
can make high-performance products and buildings that use a fraction of
the energy we use today.
And with war raging in the Middle East,
oil and gas prices surging, and global warming threatening our future,
we cannot wait. We need to start now.
Getting to a new energy
future starts with real leadership on energy policy; with setting
aggressive goals for boosting efficiency and renewables like wind and
solar power; and with saying no to steps backward like new or expanded
fossil-fuel power plants or nuclear infrastructure.
Now there’s an energy choice that you can be
proud of – it’s friendlier for the environment, for your health and for
future generations. It’s called New England GreenStart.
