Expanded reliance on gas carries other steep costs: polluted groundwater from fracking, despoiled wilderness around drilling wells and pipelines, and the constant risk of terrifying explosions. Gas wells, pipelines, and plants also exacerbate climate change by leaking methane, an extremely powerful greenhouse gas. We should be working to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible; without strong action to confront climate change, rising seas, floods, heatwaves, collapsing fisheries, and a shortened winter snow season will cost the Massachusetts economy hundreds of billions of dollars and take a terrible toll in families displaced and lives lost. SO : Scott Wilson, Bruce Panilaitis and Jim Wentworth... Thanks for reading.
