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 acquired document donations from fossil gasoline firms … is making plenty of efforts to gradual the transition to scrub power whereas encouraging the usage of fossil fuels.” Fossil fuels are the compacted stays of vegetation and animals from lots of 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, growing the carbon in Earth’s environment with devastating results throughout the nation and across the globe. Burning oil, coal and gasoline is a dying trade, and new applied sciences at the moment exist to transition us towards a cleaner power 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 hundreds of jobs. I’m wondering why I don’t really feel nice about this plan.
