@vickmohanka.bsky.social: Delivery charges make up ⅔ of the average gas bill, thanks to BILLIONS in gas utility pipeline spending. To solve MA's energy affordability crisis, we must invest in efficient equipment & clean energy, not double down on gas. #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/effi...

Wondering how Fair Share funding is being spent? Here's your 2025 Paid for by Fair Share Wrapped.

GSEP=one of the biggest cost pressures on MA gas bills. Utility spending has TRIPLED since 2014, reaching $901M on new pipes this year. Each dollar directly raises your delivery charges. Time for legislators to address what’s really making energy unaffordable #mapoli www.wcvb.com/article/as-g...

A new energy saver program in #Boston is working to upgrade homes with affordable #heatpumps and energy efficiency measures that lower bills. “This program is very much designed to meet the moment we’re in,” says Boston’s green new deal director. Read more: commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/bosto...

Eversource gas bills jumped 30% — yet their CEO made nearly $19 million & they’re pouring billions into new pipelines. “They’re passing the cost onto us, the customers.” Let’s be real: this isn’t affordability, it’s exploitation. #mapoli newbedfordlight.org/why-are-elec...
