To the editor: The place to start with the Environmental Safety Company’s cuts to the rooftop photo voltaic grant program (“EPA eliminates $7-billion rooftop photo voltaic grant program,” Aug. 7)? Let’s begin right here: “Trump — who obtained report donations from fossil gas corporations … is making numerous efforts to sluggish the transition to scrub vitality whereas encouraging using fossil fuels.” Fossil fuels are the compacted stays of vegetation and animals from a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of years in the past which have undergone transformation from warmth, strain, chemical reactions and time. Industrial societies have been burning them quickly over the previous two centuries, rising the carbon in Earth’s ambiance with devastating results throughout the nation and across the globe. Burning oil, coal and gasoline is a dying trade, and new applied sciences at present exist to transition us towards a cleaner vitality future.
The place to finish? I suppose by destroying a program designed to assist decrease our carbon output, help lower-income households and create tens of 1000’s of jobs. I ponder why I don’t really feel nice about this plan.
