The document discusses Massachusetts' clean energy goals and progress. It notes that MA has high electricity prices but a strong economy. Key clean energy legislation from 2008 expanded energy efficiency goals and strengthened renewable portfolio standards. Cities and towns are valued partners in clean energy efforts. MA has achieved significant growth in solar and wind power, and the clean energy sector now employs over 11,000 people. Through programs like Green Communities, energy efficiency has become the largest contributor to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
