Lawmakers in the state of Massachusetts wants the state to rely on renewable resources by 2035, so they have proposed a bill.
Three Massachusetts lawmakers proposed a bill that would require the state to shift to 100 percent renewable energy within the next 18 years. The bill would also require the state to completely phase out the use of fossil fuels from the heating and transportation sectors by 2050. Instead, they would have to use renewable energy such as solar power or wind energy.
Massachusetts has already attempted to reduce its carbon footprint via the Massachusetts Global Warming Solutions Act. Th Act mandates a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent from 1990 levels by 2050. Massachusetts also provides incentives to those who use solar power or wind energy.
One of the bill's sponsors, Rep. Sean Garballey, said the bill provides a bold step by placing the state on a path to a cleaner and more sustainable future. He said job creation would be encouraged as a result of eliminating the use of fossil fuels and there will be health and environmental benefits.
