Charging Up Massachusetts
There's lots of energy at work in Massachusetts. I have to admit, I'm a little surprised—after a stunningly high-stakes legislative session and two huge Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decisions ( Case 1: kids sue state to win climate regulation; Case 2: unlikely allies team up to tell the Governor he can't tax us for new fracked gas pipelines) I was expecting things to slow down a little.

Clean Water Action has organized for progressive energy policy, advancing the solutions to our power transition away from fossil fuels. Working with groups like Toxics Action Center and Better Future Project, we
Just Transition For Coal Communities
From the beginning of my internship here at Clean Water Action (CWA) talk has circulated throughout the office about the Brayton Point power plant in Somerset, MA, and the revolution that can begin at this site. From just the topic itself I was already interested in not only learning more about the plant, its history and what it has the potential to become but I was also extremely excited to be a part of the change that will inevitably come to this site.
I was given the opportunity to go and visit the Brayton Point site, and weeks prior to my visit to Somerset, I was charged with the duty to
