How clean energy met the moment in the New England summer of 2025 (Viewpoint) This summer proved that renewables aren’t just a future promise; they are already delivering reliable, affordable, and resilient power when New England needs it most.

When the heat surged this summer, it was clean energy, not fossil fuels, that protected the grid and public health. Communities already burdened by pollution deserve better than aging peaker plants. We must invest in equitable clean energy NOW.

We oppose the proposed cuts to RI's energy efficiency plan. "It just feeds into the narrative β€” that we don’t accept β€” that ratepayers aren’t seeing benefits from energy efficiency."

Halting Revolution Wind could be a disaster for New England’s grid If Trump kills the now-frozen offshore wind project, utility customers will pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity.

β€œWe’re buying 30 years of power at a fixed price, and it’s a good price." By blocking completion of Revolution Wind, the Trump administration is β€‹β€œforcing fossil fuels down our throats.”

Offshore wind on the East Coast is in real trouble due to anti-wind voices and Trump's latest moves to undermine clean energy sources. To meet state climate goals, New England must press forward despite opposition.
