Gas Prices Exceed $4 Per Gallon in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is facing the need to decommission a portion of its gas pipeline system. Massachusetts officials and environmental advocates are criticizing the state's five gas utilities over their proposed climate plans. These plans were filed last year as required by a 2023 state order. The order mandated detailed descriptions of how the utilities will reduce planet-warming emissions. Many local climate defenders find the current plans insufficient. The utilities argued their plans balance affordability, fairness, and emission reduction goals. This decision contradicts the regulator's order to companies. The average price for a regular gallon of gasoline in Massachusetts has surpassed $4. This is the first time this price point has been reached since 2022. AAA Northeast reported the increase.
