Please contact Governor Baker today and urge him to sign the climate bill into law!
Last Thursday, the House and Senate passed climate legislation that, among other things, invests in off-shore wind and solar energy, accelerates the transition to electric vehicles, and ends renewable energy credits for wood-burning power plants (click here for more details).
We now need Governor Baker to sign the bill. We are particularly concerned that Governor Baker could reject the bill’s provisions relating to woody biomass, since his administration has been working to expand subsidies for biomass energy. If that happens, we will need the Legislature to stand firm and override his veto.
Please help us get this important legislation over the finish line!

Urge Governor Baker to sign the bill ASAP with no changes.
Call Governor Baker at 617-725-4005 or (toll-free) 888-870-7770
Sample message:
“Hi, my name is ________ and I live in _____________. I urge the Governor to sign the climate bill into law as soon as possible, with no changes. I support ending clean energy subsidies for woody biomass. It makes no sense to burn wood for electricity.”
You can also send an email to the Governor through Mass Power Forward’s Action Network alert.
We only have a few more days before the legislative session ends on July 31st. Please make your calls now and forward this alert to your networks!
