    January 13, 2014 Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Secretary Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs 100 Cambridge Street Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 CC: Members of Coal Plant Revitalization Task Force Re: Planning for Energy and Economic Transition Dear Secretary Sullivan: The Bay State and the Ocean State share far more than a border. Regional economic growth and struggles, workforce challenges, and power decisions affect the health and wellbeing of residents of communities from Rhode Island to Southeastern Massachusetts, Boston and beyond. From natural beauty to marine commerce, our waters provide enormous benefits and opportunities. Our public and private transportation networks send people to work across state lines. We share hubs of innovative technology and academic brilliance, strong university systems and a growing clean technology sector. And now more than ever, we share a need to revitalize old, industrial communities with industries of the future. We write today because we see great urgency and great opportunity as changes in our energy grid force a rethinking of power decisions. We thank the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs for stewarding a deep examination of coal plant transition, its impacts and the policies needed to support the growth of thriving communities. As representatives of neighboring districts, we have grave concerns about the continued burning of coal for power, and see great promise in planning for a healthier and more resilient future. What choices we make today for our power grid and our economies will affect many, for many years. Each policy, transmission line, pipeline or redeveloped plant is part of a large and shifting infrastructure, revisions to a 1950s and 1960s energy grid.
