Acadia Center's Anya Poplavska joined Senators Heinrich, Whitehouse, Blumenthal, Markey, Van Hollen as well as former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, and other clean energy experts at a Senate roundtable exposing how policies under Trump have sent energy costs skyrocketing.

Acadia Center advocates for responsible policy grounded in scientific integrity. We support the sustained progress toward a healthy, equitable, and clean energy future and view this action as a step backward in that essential effort.

Such an action prioritizes short-term political objectives over the long-term public good, weakening the foundation for necessary climate protections.

A coalition of 24 states, led by Massachusetts Attorney General @AJCampbellMA, along with the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and a dozen cities and counties, is now challenging the EPA’s attempt to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding.

Acadia Center applauds @maura_healey for doubling-down on a strategy that will actually deliver energy independence and affordability to the Commonwealth with yesterday's Executive Order to promote the cheapest, fastest-to-deploy clean energy resources. acadiacenter.org/acadia-center-…

ABCD President and CEO Sharon Scott-Chandler joined Senator Markey and the Acadia Center at a press conference in Malden this morning to discuss how soaring oil and gas prices are affecting low-income families in MA. Thank you for your continued support, Senator Markey! #HEAP

Acadia Center crunched the numbers and determined that Bill H5151 undermines its own aims to make energy more affordable. See the analysis here: acadiacenter.org/acadia-center-…

The savings don’t add up: this $1B reduction would mean deep cuts to energy efficiency incentives and slashed customer access, effectively shutting down many parts of the program and harming one of our best tools to deliver affordable energy bills and achieve our climate goals.

🧵 Acadia Center applauds the Committee’s work to improve Bill H5151 and advance energy affordability and clean energy in MA. HOWEVER--it is vital that the final package remove the proposed $1B cut to Mass Save, the nation‑leading energy efficiency program. Here's why:

"McKee’s proposed change would 'essentially destroy' the solar energy industry in the Ocean State, said Butterworth." Acadia Center's Climate, Energy and Equity Analysis Director spoke with the @the_herald on the RI Governor's executive order. Read more: browndailyherald.com/article/2026/0…

@MassGovernor @MassEEA @RonMariano @jeffroy @AcadiaCtr: Why energy costs are so high for New England. We must move away from gas & towards renewables in a big way NOW. @350Mass acadiacenter.org/understanding-…
