Mass Live

The first bill U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, has introduced in the Senate would require utilities to generate a quarter of their electricity from renewable sources.

Markey’s bill indicates the senator’s continuing focus on energy and climate change issues, which were at the forefront of Markey’s 37-year career in the U.S. House.
