Delaware must allow homeowners to produce more than %10 over their electric usage so we can retire fossil fuel power plants. We must provide incentives for individuals to install electric storage capabilities to provide power after dark or during windless times. Power companies must be incentivized to install systems that uses excess power to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. They can sell the oxygen for medical or commercial uses and store the hydrogen to use as fuel when renewables are unable to provide sufficient power to the grid. No greenhouse gases would be produced and all the fuel to provide the electricity would be free.
Delaware must increase the use of electric public transit vehicles. Most routes are short enough to allow this, and longer routes could have charging stations at each end of the route. Drivers would park and charge the vehicle they drove into the end of route station, and move to another vehicle that has been charging. It may require a few more vehicles, but the cost would be partially offset by the lower maintenance costs of the electric vehicles.
We must also initiate a fee for internal combustion vehicles bases on fuel mileage figures. The lower the miles per gallon the higher the fee. This would cause the more polluting vehicles to pay their fair share of the cost of their emissions.
We must encourage more electric vehicle purchases. Businesses must be incentivized to install charging stations for employee electric vehicles and encouraged to use solar or wind power to provide the electricity. They could receive a one time tax rebate for the installation of the chargers and solar or wind facilities. They could also receive tax rebates if the installed power storage facilities.
Delaware must also require that a certain percentage of vehicles from each manufacturer are all electric powered vehicles. We have been trying to purchase a Hyundai Kona electric from a Delaware dealer for almost 2 years now. Despite Delaware being a state that qualifies for them, local Hyundai dealers do not carry them and when we inquire about them, are told that they are not available within 200 miles of the state. We know this is untrue because we have seen them for sale in dealerships within 50 miles in MD and 20 miles in N.J. We don't want to have to deal with a dealership so far away and in a different state.
Delaware must also enact a carbon tax on industries. The fees could be used to pay for health care for individuals harmed by industrial carbon.

Asthma has affected my ability to do play sports that I love and means I will be paying for medication every month for the rest of my life. We know that asthma rates in kids are highest near highways and high traffic streets. It would break my heart to know we had a chance to give millions of kids cleaner air and chose not to take it.
Beyond the local air quality effects, Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the region, country, and world. We know that effective public transit can dramatically and quickly reduce transportation's carbon intensity when it has enough funding, which is absolutely not the case in Pennsylvania. Using pricing emissions and generating funding for public transit that gives people low emissions transportation options is crucial.
I strongly support the TCI and encourage Governor Wolf and the Pennsylvania state legislature to support it as well. |

And the rental bikes available in New Haven should be in suburbs also. We also need handicap accessible bus stops in suburbs most of the bus stops along rt 5 in Wallingford have no benches, shelters or places where a wheelchair can access the sidewalk or the street due to the curb. In CT outside of cities public transit is not convenient it is too difficult in many areas. |

As far as I have learned, there is no climate issue presently, except for evidence leaning toward a cooling climate due to an present and oncoming solar minimum. Your carbon concerns are your own and not validated by evidence. I refuse to have my hard-earned money be wasted by such blatantly political and frivolous projects. Most of the People I know are also not fooled by your un-scientific claims. Do not even try to tax We the People for any more of your unproven hypotheses. There is a growing intolerance for such foolishness. If you want to waste your time and money on your pet projects, feel free to solicit voluntary donations to your cause. forget about trying to tax us for them. If you do, you do at your own peril. We are looking at such behavior as extortion, and robbery. Keep that in mind . . . |

Pennsylvania should formally join the plan to reduce emissions. Policies should be equitable by prioritizing clean investments in areas already overburdened by pollution. I appreciate the bipartisan nature of this project and think it's great that states can do something, despite current federal policies that are going in the wrong direction. |

I applaud the desire to implement some sort of stick in fossil fuel pricing but hoping that there would be a carrot to make more people jump towards a the sustainable side.
Can you bring the tambourine along to highlight this as well as drive an initiative towards development?
My idea revolves around the fact that there are far too many cars traveling with only one person in them. It is particularly difficult to have people in rural settings think of alternate transportation other than their own personal vehicle. Why not develop an app that is akin to a "hitch Uber" where everyone can be an Uber driver or rider by simply going through a process of verification and review? Drivers and riders could receive some sort of compensation or reward for sharing their trip and ultimately lowering their carbon footprints. This makes essentially everyone a mass transit driver/rider and could develop into a network where connections could be made at major intersections to help interested riders make their final destination. This idea can grow organically once there is some adoption but could be quickly incentivized by an organization or government with the capability to review and make a safer integration for all concerned. |

The climate is fine and unaffected by humanity. Therefore, there is no excuse to have socialist groups like TCI to try to rape the rights of We the People from Us. Our fossil fuel rights will not be impinged in any way. Fossil fuels has helped humanity to thrive in an otherwise dangerous environment here on Earth. Any attempt to take this inherent right from Us will be construed as an act of war against humanity.
If you folks want to go without the vast benefits of fossil fuels, then get rid of your clothing and cell phones and go live in a cave if you want. Keep away from my human right to thrive. You have no authority to kill Us off. |
