A Tale of Two Governors-The Climate Minute Podcast

From the clean energy perspective, it was the best of times in California and a not so good time in New England. The New England Governors all met in Hartford to discuss New England’s energy future, which turns out to look a lot like New England’s energy present. Massachusetts’ Governor Baker seemed to settle on an “all options” approach (i.e. more gas pipelines and let the ratepayer foot the bill), which is a disappointment to those who recognize the need for clean energy. In contrast, out in California Governor Brown has set strong goals to force renewable energy development by 2030. Which Governor’s leadership will pass the judgment of history? We discuss.
The reading list:
• Baker supports 'expanded pipelines"?
• NE Guvs to 'boost gas capacity"
• Dangers of Baker's regulatory review
• California's Governor Brown sets aggressive goals
• Cali even better than the Feds?

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.
Thanks for listening.
