Lyons noted that at the time, the Boston Globe described Healey and the Democrats as "winners" following the release of the Barr Foundation-funded study results.
"Healey’s office represents the ratepayers and came out with a study last fall asserting that the region over the next 15 years does not need new interstate natural gas pipeline capacity," the newspaper reported in 2016. "Instead, Massachusetts could meet its additional energy needs through efficiency and demand response programs."
"Maura Healey and the Democrats have spent years catering to the radical progressives and their 'green new deal' political pursuits, and all of virtue-signaling in the world won't help Massachusetts families pay their bills," said Lyons. "Maura Healey bragged about shutting down a clean source of energy that heats homes and keeps the lights on, and tonight she owes the voters an explanation."
"Again, I am asking people to share this video clip far and wide and demand answers from the Democrats and Maura Healey, who have prioritized radical progressive politics over the ability of Massachusetts families to afford to pay their energy bills, because this winter is projected to be a devastating indictment of their agenda."
