Massachusetts has very ambitious CO2 emissions targets, which they are achieving by moving their electricity generation to other states.

Yet in the meantime all we have been told about climate change has been shown to be wrong. Just read this:

Maine & Quebec are the “sustainable generator” dumping grounds for New England;-( My mid Maine, blue collar village is plagued by:
1) Bird + bat beater turbines visible for miles. They also create hums in residences miles away. Worse, the town rebates to the wind plantation 80% of the business equipment (similar to property taxes) to the plantation owner.
2) Multiple solar plantations within 15 or so miles of the town. Some cover good farmland. Others REQUIRED chopping down CO2 absorbing forests.
3) The removal of low cost hydroelectric generators FORCED by watermelons.
4) A 60+%–YES, MORE THAN 60%–INCREASE in the residential electricity tariff since Biden took office.
Plus, Town Council has shackled the town’s poor–truly poor–residents with concessions to a biomass to “fuel” boondoggle and may soon enslave us to a battery storage facility.
Scotty, beam watermelons + their dupes out of here!!!
Mass is determined to be the leader in the fight against stable moderating climate. The small town where I live long ago banned plastic grocery bags in favor of multiple use bags. But during the Pandemic Movie plastic bags were MANDATED as experts determined that multiple use bags were veritable breeding grounds for little COVIDs. It was an emergency after all as evidenced by the fact that some guy in Worcester sneezed three times in a row. To be fair there has been a noticeable cooling trend since the MANDATE was rescinded; clearly the reusable bags mitigate the effects of Global Boiling. As do the acres of solar arrays here. In the winter they are covered with snow that nobody removes and in summer tall sun-blocking goldenrod flourishes between the rows of panels. They generate .01 percent of our electricity demands. But a little here, a little there. If Massachusetts was a client I’d assign a diagnosis of schizophrenia with a grim prognosis for recovery.
