Today we talk about the Department of Public Utilities decision that happened in December, where they made some decisions about the future of gas in the state of Massachusetts. We also discuss a little bit of environmental history in Massachusetts, the reality of distributed environmental justice, and how Massachusetts compares to other states.

Jordan Berg Powers, Jonathan Cohn, and Anna Callahan are joined in this episode by Jess Nahigan from the Sierra Club of Massachusetts. This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 5 episode 40. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel.

You’re listening to Incorruptible Mass. Our goal is to help people transform state politics: we investigate why it’s so broken, imagine what we could have here in MA if we fixed it, and report on how you can get involved.

Two action items from this week's episode:
1) Call for just siting policy!
