Climate Deniers on Front Line of Battle Over Pennsylvania Joining Cap-and-Trade Program to Slash Carbon Pollution
Aug 25, 2020 @ 14:28
Pennsylvania, traditionally a battleground state in electoral politics, is currently embroiled in a battle over the state potentially joining a regional program to curb carbon pollution from the power sector. That program, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), has seen carbon dioxide emissions from power plants slashed by 47 percent over 10 years while generating over $3 billion in revenue. Participating states have then used that revenue to invest in energy efficiency and clean energy programs.
Environmental advocates say Pennsylvania’s participation in RGGI would be a “game-changer,” but climate science deniers and other fossil fuel allies claim it would be too costly and kill jobs in a state where the coal and fracked gas industries have long dominated the energy landscape.

great, but work still remains
Kudos to Columbus City Council member Shayla Favor and her peers for passing a ban on sources of income discrimination during the pandemic as a tool to promote additional housing options.
Now the hard work begins. In order for the legislation to succeed, the Columbus business community needs to team up with government and civil rights organizations to support fair housing education training for landlords and tenants. Marketing assistance needs to be provided to promote the goals and intent of this ordinance.
With success, the citizens of Columbus and Central Ohio will benefit from increased opportunities for economic integration, enhanced employment, additional educational choices and safe and stable housing.
