Massachusetts are in the middle of a energy crisis. This is not due to global market or seasonal cold snaps. This is because of bad leadership and harmful energy policy, with the Governor Maura Healey leading the fee. Like repairing energy bills, voters in 2026 should look at who is responsible, and more importantly, giving a better way forward.
Gov. Healey that is proud to rotate his paper blocking natural gas pipes across Commonwealth. “I am the lawyer’s lawyer who prevents pipes,” he is proud of, as the cutting access to a critical energy source is something to celebrate. This is something to put in a show to improve your ambitions for the higher office. This is another if you reach the higher office and have real grid protection responsibilities and prevent skyrocketing costs.
Unfortunately, as governor, Healey commits a mistake to teach Rebecca Tepper to be secretary of strength and environmental activities. With a loose ally of green groups such as tepper leading fee, signed by Gov. Healey is a perfect transition from half of the State houses for the heating of the state.
The result? Massachusetts residents now pay 36% more for electricity than the national average. That’s not an accident. This is the direct result of the intentional political choices leading ideology of aptitude and reliability. Like ISO New English President and CEO Gordon Van Welie – managing electric operation in English Feld – “The physical restricts of gas infrastructure prices higher” and therefore power prices. “
If energy becomes unreliable and inexpensive, working families, poor, and minority communities that are most difficult to hit. A recent report from the left central thought tank is the progressive policy institute that examines the effect of anti-energy policies from Black and Latino families. It is known to study that these weak communities carry the highest costs for these policies. To prevent this: “Poverty of energy is true, and the energy efficiency of energy in energy.” The high utility utility is a tax on the weakest.
Meanwhile, the tepper becomes a political albatross around Gov. Healey. In a recent hearing of Skyrocketing Energy Bills, Tepper refuses to say that the state should support the expansion of natural gas infrastructure at lower prices. Even the democratic Governor Governor Governor Kathy Hochul – no moderate to himself – declares willingness to work with Trump administration. He took his messaging away from energy transfer to focus on reliability and beauty.
Just a few years Charlie Baker had been the most famous governors in the country, and also selected by bipartisan support. Massachusetts shows voters who are willing to vote in the Republican level of state if the candidate is pragmatic and focuses on finishing things.
And political air can shift. Many polls reflect Healey’s approval ratings, with voters expressing the growing frustration at high housing costs, controversial immigration policies, and yes – skyrocketing bills. A poll by Umasss Amherst reveals clearly dissatisfied with his handling of key issues. Another survey from the Fiscal Alliance Foundation shows widespread disobedience to his energy policies, tax increase, and lack of fiscal accountability.
If the state continues at the current passage – that is closed to domestic energy, demonizing natural gas, and accepting unrealististic orders – it deepens the crisis. If the houses cannot be warm, when businesses pay the underlined skies, and if foreign countries fill the gap on blocked plelines. Thanks to Tepper, it’s a record that Gov. The Healey will defend.
The country should focus on the eyes of 2026 Guberatorial Race. Since Massachusetts occur is a preview of the national debate: we will place energy policy in the hands of idols like leaders who lead leaders who lead leaders who lead leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who have leaders who lead leaders Leader, or trusting leaders who lead leaders with leaders who lead leaders with competence, trustworthy, and American energy?
