Instead of wasting valuable funding on new fossil fuel capacity, Massachusetts utilities should focus on fixing gas leaks and on building clean, renewable and zero-emission energy facilities. Massachusetts residents who care about our state’s economy and quality of life should demand that state energy and environmental officials:

• Embrace the recommendations of  Rolling the Dice, An Assessment of Gas Safety in Massachusetts.
• Require gas utilities move immediately to fix the thousands of current leaks in our state's gas distribution system.
• Implement an aggressive plan to transition away from all fossil fuels, including methane gas.
• Reject all new construction or expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure as both unnecessary and wasteful.
