The Baker administration is still a long way from developing the type of emissions reduction regulations that would meet the mandate handed down last week by the state’s highest court, according to the state’s top energy official, who told the News Service there are opportunities to reduce emissions from the transportation sector but no single sector will bear the burden of meeting the pollution reduction requirements of the Global Warming Solutions Act.
“We have some work to do across every sector,” Energy and Environment Secretary Matthew Beaton told the News Service after attending a Cabinet meeting in Baker’s office on Friday.
