Mass. spent nearly $400K on an energy study. Three years after its completion, the state hasn’t released the results.

Even before Gov. Maura Healey entered the heart of campaign season — one that has been defined by skyrocketing energy costs and affordability issues — her administration has seemed sensitive to the price tag attached to the tens or hundreds of billions of dollars likely needed to support a sweeping green transition.

Free community college helping to shore up state university enrollment
