Issue Position: Environment

Issue Position

John supports alternative energy solutions for Massachusetts, provided they offer real potential for positive impacts on the environment, and cost savings for homeowners and businesses. Alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal are critical to improving our environment and decreasing our dependence on foreign oil. Locally, the preservation of open space and the cleanup of local bays, rivers, lakes and streams is critical to the long-term environmental health of our communities. Development within our communities should be sensitive to the scale and impact upon our local environments. As your State Senator, John will work with local governments and groups on issues of environmental concern.
