Better Future leader challenges Baker inaction on pipelines

The executive director of a Cambridge-based grassroots group that opposes the use of fossil fuels and favors the use of alternative energy recently penned a blog for the Huffington Post, criticizing Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker for not doing more to stop proposals that would increase the state's reliance on natural gas.

In an April 7 blog post entitled, "Charlie Baker:Technocrat or Plutocrat?" Craig Atlemose, head of the Better Future Project, wrote that Baker "sold himself to the Massachusetts electorate as a technocrat" who would act on reason and facts, but whether or not he acts to stop various proposals for increasing our supply of natural gas will reveal whether he is, in fact, a plutocrat who operates in the interest of big business, rather than the people.
