An Act investing in a prosperous, clean Commonwealth by 2030
This bill aims to transition Massachusetts to 100% renewable electricity and achieve net zero carbon emissions across all sectors by 2030. It directly affects energy providers, industrial facilities, and workers by mandating a shift away from fossil fuels while prioritizing environmental justice and creating unionized green jobs. The legislation updates state laws to establish a greenhouse gas registry and requires specific facilities to report their emissions annually. Additionally, it defines key terms like "direct emissions" and "land carbon carrying capacity" to ensure accurate tracking of climate impact.
