Carbon and Climate

Achieving our goals for electric vehicle adoption may require supportive national policy, but there is much we can do within Massachusetts.

If we are going to achieve our interim 2030 emissions goal within the transportation sector, either many of us are going to have to keep working from home or many of us are going to have to switch to electric vehicles or both. To achieve our 2050 zero emissions goal we are all going to have to switch to electric vehicles.

Listen to a conversation with Senator Mike Barrett about the new climate legislation.

The new roadmap sets aggressive goals for reduction of greenhouse gases over the next three decades. We will need to work very hard to achieve the goals we have set with this legislation.

We are likely to set a goal of “net zero” green house gas emissions in 2050 for Massachusetts. Why “net zero?”
