Yay Boston (and Cambridge)!!!

I know Boston is planning a large green-waste power plant to be built sometime in the next few years (the article mentions it), but I wasn't sure if that had been factored into the score already or if the construction of it will later improve Boston's score even more upon completion.

Either way it is great to see Boston ranked so high!
