BOSTON — New England states could save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next several decades by expanding natural gas and nuclear power to meet the region’s energy needs and reduce costs for consumers, according to a new report by a coalition of right-leaning think tanks.
The report, released earlier this month by the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, Americans for Prosperity Foundation, and other conservative groups, suggested that New England states collectively could save between $400 billion and $700 billion by 2050 on energy costs by focusing on expanding gas and nuclear energy.
