Hydropower facilities, nicotine-free generation initiative, reducing cell-phone use

Hydropower is in the news this week as a Hampden County utility company secures (https://www.masslive.com/westernmass/...) a contract extension to continue hydropower use, while an energy company in Franklin County clears a hurdle in its quest to open two facilities (https://recorder.com/2026/02/04/ferc-...) despite concerns from locals. And some 413 high schools look to an app to reign in cell phone use (https://www.masslive.com/westernmass/...) , while local municipalities seek to curtail nicotine use (https://recorder.com/2026/01/30/monta...) by young people. We unpack the details. This week’s panel for The Rundown includes Greenfield Recorder reporter Erin-Leigh Hoffman (https://recorder.com/author/erin-leig...) , Paul Tuthill (https://www.wamc.org/people/paul-tuthill) , reporter emeritus; and Rich Parr (https://www.massincpolling.com/about) , Vice President at the MassINC Polling Group.
