Solutions Act following its review by the Fossil Fuel Subcommittee of
the Platform Committee.  This isn't the complete solution to global
warming, but it sets important goals for the reduction of greenhouse
gases.  This legislation has industry opposition and is not being
pushed by the Patrick Administration.  Your voice is needed to get it
passed. Please contact your Senator today if possible.
