Client: Alternatives for Community and Environment
June 2017
On behalf of Alternatives for Community and Environment, Clinic Director and Senior Economist Liz Stanton, PhD submitted testimony to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Office of Appeals and Dispute Resolution in the matter of Brockton Power's application to construct a new 350 megawatt natural gas power plant. Dr. Stanton's testimony demonstrated that the greenhouse gas emission limits set out in Brockton Power's revised application are not consistent with Massachusetts' compliance with its climate law, called the Global Warming Solutions Act.
