Controlling energy costs and forcing a rapid shift to intermittent alternative energy sources are not compatible goals. Governor Maura Healey is doubling down on them anyway. “I’m not backing down,” she says, while pushing for more executive orders to lock in Massachusetts’ energy mix for the next 10 years....

Massachusetts now has a brand-new $91,000-a-year statewide “heat resilience officer.” So naturally, we had a question. 👀 How exactly is this new position, and the policies being promoted along with it, going to lower energy costs for Massachusetts ratepayers? Katie Schlick’s plans include changing building codes, expanding government involvement, and pushing the state further toward its net-zero mandates. That all sounds pretty expensive to us! Massachusetts families are already struggling with some of the highest energy costs in the country. They deserve to know whether all of this is actually going to make energy more affordable, or just add another layer of government while costs keep climbing. We tried to ask. Watch what happened. 👇

HE’S LYING Notwithstanding solar and wind are not "clean energy", it’s an outright lie to claim there is a "global shift to clean energy". The data is clear - there is no "global shift" Globally the world is using more coal, more gas, more oil and more nuclear. It’s also using more solar and more wind and more of everything else - but globally solar and wind are not REPLACING fossil fuels - they are merely ADDITIONAL. Further, Australia is the only nation in world attempting to replace its fossil fuels with prominently intermittent weather dependent sources of energy - solar and wind. No other nation is doing it, because it’s uneconomic and will only impoverish a nation if foolishly attempted. Blackout Bowen’s lies must be called out, because they are going to destroy Australia.

Senator Michael Barrett is saying the quiet part out loud here. Massachusetts is planning to dramatically expand the electric grid, build more offshore wind and solar, electrify homes and transportation, and expects utilities to “get very, very rich.” Why? Because Beacon Hill’s net-zero mandates require it. This isn’t about lowering your electric bill. It’s about spending billions to reshape how every Massachusetts resident heats their home, drives their car, and uses electricity, while forcing more people to buy electricity through electrification mandates powered by some of the most expensive forms of energy generation possible. The Senate energy bill doubles down on this agenda instead of addressing the affordability and reliability crisis families are facing today.

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who know why we have sky-high costs. Massachusetts is now one of the most expensive states in the country to live in. Housing is out of reach, energy bills keep climbing, groceries cost more every month, and taxes never seem to go down. This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of one-party Democrat control on Beacon Hill. Look around the country. The highest cost-of-living states are almost all Democrat-run. Meanwhile, many of the most affordable states are run by Republicans. That’s not coincidence. It’s policy. Democrats love to talk about affordability, but their policies make nothing more affordable. More regulation, higher taxes, higher energy costs, and endless spending drive businesses and families out of Massachusetts every year. Even wages tell the story. Working people felt relief when Republicans pushed for economic growth and fiscal restraint. When Democrats regain full control, spending explodes and real wages fall behind the cost of living. There is a clear pattern. One-party rule makes Massachusetts more expensive and less livable. Common-sense conservative leadership would lower costs, keep businesses here, and make this state affordable again for families who just want a fair shot. Massachusetts doesn’t need excuses. It needs change.

What makes more sense? A 100-mile natural gas pipeline from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts that would immediately lower energy costs OR a massive wind farm 500 miles out in the Atlantic off the coast of Canada, plus a 700-mile transmission line through Maine and New Hampshire to deliver electricity that’s more expensive? Governor Healey is choosing the wind farm to appease climate activists. I’d choose the option that’s efficient, affordable, and actually helps Massachusetts families and businesses – the natural gas pipeline.

Higher prices and more uncertainty, with the American people paying the price. Instead of working to lower costs for Americans, the Administration is doubling down and continuing to push more tariffs — hurting our small businesses, farmers, and our economy in the process.

Schatz: This bill will kill 300,000 jobs in wind and solar per year. We're going to lose out on $450 billion in capital as thousands of projects go under. And because of that, we're going to generate about 500 gigawatts less energy in the next decade. The 500 gigawatts less energy in the next decade is pretty much exactly the amount of energy that we're going to need to meet rising demand. We are going to have energy shortages as a result of this legislation. Energy demand is soaring for the first time in decades, largely, not exclusively but largely because of A.I. data centers. And our best chance of meeting it in the next few years is with wind and solar, not oil and gas, even nuclear and geothermal are going to take awhile.

Maura Healey has launched her reelection campaign by claiming she will fix the mess her own administration created, then immediately pivoting to attacking President Trump. That is not real leadership. Here is the reality: Massachusetts ranks 47th in the nation for affordability, a national leader for outmigration, and families are paying some of the highest energy bills in America. Those are not talking points. They are the direct results of failed leadership. While she deflects and shifts blame, families pay the price. I am running for Governor to put people first, protect your wallets, and keep the American Dream alive in Massachusetts.

TRUMP: “Inflation is down. All costs are down. Everything is down, other than the thing that you carry the babies around in. Energy is down. Gasoline is down. Far ahead of schedule. So people that were paying a lot of groceries, they are paying a lot less.” FACT Check: - Gasoline is up since Trump took office (from $3.13 to $3.17) - Grocery prices, on average, are up since he took office. - Inflation is still here, still above where it should be. - Energy prices are down mostly because of recession fears. - All costs are definitely not down. Most are up.

Virginia is a leader in energy policy. We passed a first-of-its-kind energy consumption tax on data centers. And now, we're going to be the first state to run a group buying program for home solar and battery storage. We're taking real action to address high energy costs for Virginians and working to meet rising energy demand across the Commonwealth.

Americans want prices to go down, not up. But energy, grocery, and housing costs are rising, while Trump’s new taxes on imports could cost Virginians an extra $2 billion a year. That’s ridiculous, so I’m forcing a vote in the Senate to challenge them.

r/t John Deaton for US Senate I'm constantly told a U.S. Senator can't make Massachusetts more affordable. That's simply not true. Energy policy drives the cost of everything from your electric bill to the price of groceries. That's why it matters to have a senator who actually spends time in Massachusetts listening to the people paying those bills. Ed Markey has spent decades pushing the same energy agenda from Maryland. I'm bringing a plan: fight for federal nuclear credits as your senator, build four small modular reactors in Massachusetts, and lower energy costs for working families. That's what your senator should be fighting for.

Did you know Ireland used to have the lowest electricity costs in the EU? Now we have the highest. That didn't happen by accident. That happen because Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil chooses to protect big energy companies who are fleecing people left right and centre, instead protecting households. On nearly every door in Dublin Central, people are saying the same thing - enough is enough. This do-nothing government must act now to bring down energy prices for good by holding these energy companies to account, to tackle the scourge of price gouging and to make life more affordable for people.

Ethiopia’s renewable energy drive is anchored in ambitious national goals to power sustainable growth, expand reliable electricity access, and support industrialisation while protecting the environment. By prioritising clean energy sources such as hydropower, wind, solar, and geothermal, the country is working to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, strengthen energy security, and lower emissions. These efforts aim to provide affordable power for households and industries, enable local manufacturing, and support job creation, while extending electricity to underserved communities. Together, Ethiopia’s renewable energy initiatives are laying the foundation for a resilient, climate-friendly economy and long-term energy independence. #PMOEthiopia #VisionforProsperity

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who’s tired of being blamed for a crisis our own leaders created. Maura Healey is bragging about 300,000 people signing up for the Health Connector while ignoring the real story: premiums are skyrocketing because of the mandates, regulations, and policies she and her party have controlled for decades. Small business owners, self-employed workers, and families aren’t choosing the Connector because it’s great. They’re choosing it because they’re being priced out of everything else. And now Healey wants to pin those premium hikes on President Trump? Come on. This is the system Massachusetts Democrats built, and we’re all paying for it. The solution is simple: open up the market, cut the mandates that drive up costs, expand competition across state lines, and put patients, not bureaucracy, in control. Lower costs start with more choices, not more government.

She says “energy projects are not getting built in this country, I don’t know how much more consultation & engagement is needed for industry to tell you the same thing for about the last decade, which is you need to get on top of removing these energy laws not necessarily giving Ministers more political authorities”
