Massachusetts and eight other Northeast states are nearly halving the amount of carbon dioxide power plants are allowed to emit –- a dramatic reduction that is expected to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars to the state while combating global warming.
The revision of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative agreement comes four years after the nine-state program first put in place a cap aimed at curbing emissions of the key heat-trapping gas in order to slow manmade climate change.

Thank goodness and it's about time! Let's hope the rest of the country follows our lead.
Oh lawdie... Deeval the self-assessed Magnificent taking credit for curing the phenom of global warming. Why didn't this guy name himself senator pro tem so we could look forward to his moving to Richmond in hopes that his very own choochoo will arrive in Pittsfield when he wants to travel to Noo Yawk? How much will my electric bill go up because Deeval the self-assessed got to pronounciate on yet another bit of palaver?
