WEALTHY MIKE MINOGUE BABBLED ABOUT "AFFORDABILITY" ....PLANNED TO SLASH MASSACHUSETTS PROGRAMS

FWIW: Massachusetts had a WEALTHY (self-funding) Trumper running for GOVERNOR who babbled about "AFFORDABILITY" and intended to rescind the state's clean energy programs.

Before embracing any candidate, it's important to scrutinize their rhetoric....in the case of MIKE MINOGUE, he babbled NONSENSE!

This is NOT a partisan issue - it defines our future! 

On his GOOD NEWS SUNDAY POST, AARON PARNAS included this:

• Climate groups say the midterm results are a mandate for clean energy. Environmental organizations welcomed the results, saying voters rejected Trumpism and endorsed climate action and making polluters pay, according to Positive News. The Sierra Club sent a memo to the incoming Congress calling for an end to fossil fuel subsidies and protection for the Arctic from drilling. “The people have spoken, and the new Congress should waste no time in responding by fighting to reverse the damage Trump has caused these past two years,” said Sierra Club legislative director Melinda Pierce. Evergreen Action urged Democrats to use their new power to lower energy costs and expand clean power. “Democrats ran on lowering energy bills, holding big tech accountable, and building out clean energy infrastructure,” said executive director Lena Moffitt. She added that “voters have given them a mandate to fight back.”

• Geothermal heating is cutting energy bills in affordable housing, and a Vermont utility is trying something new. Vermont Gas is partnering with Dandelion Energy to install geothermal heating and cooling at Riggs Meadow, a 44-unit affordable housing development in Hinesburg. It will be the first project in the country where a utility directly owns the geothermal system and runs it like a gas line, which saves the builder money and lets the project use the utility’s better financing. Each home will get its own loop of underground pipes, so residents who use less energy keep their own savings instead of paying for their neighbors. Drilling begins in early 2027, and residents are expected to move in by the end of that year. The savings can be big: a Department of Energy case study found geothermal heat pumps cut energy costs by 40.7% at a 72-unit apartment complex in New York. In Detroit, a 27-unit affordable housing development built with geothermal doesn’t bill tenants separately for heating and cooling at all, which its developer says lets families “breathe a little easier.”
