Nuclear power looks a lot different in 2025 – it uses a smaller footprint, produces less waste, and can be factory-assembled. Massachusetts wants to seize this opportunity for more reliable power and to attract new business opportunities and energy resources to the state.
Massachusetts families and businesses need affordable, reliable energy. We're teaming up with @UMassLowell to develop Advanced Nuclear and Fusion Energy Roadmaps that will explore how we can leverage these technologies to bring more power into the state and reduce costs.

I rode my bike to work today, as I do most days. I've ridden in, and taken the subway home in the past when the weather has turned. This will be the first time I'll take the subway home due to bad air quality. An ugly and alarming milestone.

When we invent climate solutions in MA, we win in terms of economic activity, jobs, climate impact, and pride. When we invent basketball in (Springfield) MA, we win in terms of legacy, bragging rights, and pride.
