A bill just passed the Massachusetts House to cut $1 billion from Mass Save—and it could raise your energy costs.

Every $1 invested in Mass Save returns ~$3 in lower bills and cleaner air. Cut the funding, and electricity demand goes up. Utilities build more infrastructure. Rates go up. More profit for them, more costs for you.
