Massachusetts released two revised climate policies recently. They are each meaningful even if somewhat imperfect steps forward. They should be viewed in light of the decade long process of making the 2030 climate roadmap a success. Climate activists need to pay attention to the proposals and provide good feedback to the state as it tries to follow the roadmap to a clean future.

The reading list:

• WBUR on the climate roadmap bill passed last year
• The Globe's new climate section
• Globe's Shankman on the new MassSave plan
• Globe's Noor on the details of the MassSave changes
• The MassSave website. Go here to book an appointment
• Globe's Shankman on the release of the new SMART solar regulations

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for a building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist the United States transform it’s energy sector, over the next decade, under a just and equitable plan, that uses regulations, investments and a price on carbon to safeguard our collective future.

Thanks for listening.
