This week, President Obama and Governor Patrick both confirmed their visions for our clean energy future. In the State of the Union speech, the President talked about the “promise of clean energy,” and said “nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American-made energy.” In the Governor’s State of the Commonwealth address, he brought it home, reminding us that the Green Communities Act fundamentally shifted our state’s energy focus toward efficiency and renewable energy. 

 Thanks to this leadership and the work of thousands across Massachusetts, we’ve made significant clean energy progress over the last year. Please take a minute and view my Massachusetts 2011 Clean Energy Year in Review post on our Energy Smarts blog to see many of the advances we made together in 2011.

 It’s been an exciting first year as commissioner and I look forward to continuing my work with you as we create a cleaner energy future together. 

 Thank You,

Commissioner Mark Sylvia
