A coalition of Massachusetts climate activist groups sent a letter to government officials on March 18, in response to high utility costs concerning energy bills, though several renewable energy projects in the state have been driving up utility costs in the area for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six environmental activist organizations, including Sierra Club<\/a> Massachusetts and HEETlabs, sent the letter<\/a> to Democratic Gov. Maura Healey and Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. The letter included calls for provisions to lower energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massachusetts has historically supported several expensive green energy projects that have been found to raise utility costs<\/a>, including offshore wind farms<\/a> like Vineyard Wind<\/a> and the abandoned Cape Wind<\/a> project. The Bay State plans<\/a> to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a goal also championed<\/a> by the Biden administration to the tune of $3 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sharp spikes in heating bills throughout the Commonwealth in January and February have been a financial shock and burden to customers,\u201d the letter opens. \u201cThis spike has caused real pain and has been seized upon by climate deniers and opponents of clean energy.\u201d (RELATED: One Of America\u2019s Priciest Green Boondoggles May Be Going Offline After Sucking Up Subsidies And Incinerating Birds)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
