A court ruling ends the plan to finance new natural gas pipelines by means of a ‘tariff’ on electricity bills. This is a victory for the Massachusetts consumer and for clean energy, especially since it will become much harder to build this kind of decades-long-lived fossil fuel infrastructure. Listen in as we discuss the implications of this important decision.

The reading list:

• BlueMassGroup
• Commonwealth Magazine
• The Globe
• WBUR
• Universal Hub
• RI may follow MA decision on pipelines
• The protest continues in West Roxbury
• The Climate Minute on the Omnibus Bill
• The Climate Minute on pipeline civil disobedience in West Roxbury

Because we recognize the necessity of personal accountability for our actions, because we accept responsibility for building a durable future and because we believe it is our patriotic duty as citizens to speak out, we must insist that the United States put a price on carbon.

Thanks for listening.
