TCI Regional Policy Design Stakeholder Submissions

Your initiative is perplexing on many fronts, which I frankly find quite disturbing and short-sighted. This initiative obviously has money and/or grants behind it. Your obvious intent is to not only curb emissions, but to curb the use of gasoline and oil. As a writer, author and someone who has extensively researched more holistic ways to live, I find it amazing that groups and initiatives like yours outright FAIL to attempt to adopt and rebuild Nikola Tesla's 'free energy' tower, "Wardenclyffe". This tower and those like it would outright END the need for oil, gasoline, and even most utility companies. Nikola Tesla's tower was funded by the great J.P. Morgan - because it worked! He used it to recreate the aurora borealis over the skies of Long Island. Nikola Tesla invented the radio, A/C power, the Tesla coil, the remote control, neon lights, wireless power, and on, and on. Do you really think his tower wouldn't have worked? His aim was to light the world that was still dark, and give free energy and power to the poor, which would have ended poverty for over 100 years had greed and suppression not taken hold of America. Examples of Tesla's radiant energy invention are plentiful on Youtube. Yet, movements like this silly and obtuse Transportation and Climate Initiative only seek to further burden 'the people'; you only seek to implement more hardship and struggle on 'the people', as this initiative would surely raise taxes and financial burden.

What do you really believe? That if you burden others and make life more difficult for others you will succeed? Karma - and energy - do not operate in this manner. Do you think you know more than the people, and you ought to tell the people how to live their lives? This is an awful line of reasoning. Those who comprise our society who are already struggling to survive and live, would have to pay more to survive because of initiatives like this one that you put forth. I suspect that you don't want to take on big corporations and big oil; it appears that would be too much for you because it is much easier just to take on 'the people', and make their lives more difficult with higher costs of living, and you do it without showing your face, so they never know who you are. That is not policy or initiative, that is cowardice, and disingenuous behavior devoid of integrity. It is a disenfranchisement of the people, and their right to choose. Have the courage to do it big and do it right. You ought to instead be implementing a natural and CHEAPER alternative (Tesla's Wardenclyffe) that SAVES the people money and lifts them out of poverty. Your initiative would increase costs and thus poverty; and yet...I bet the architects of this initiative rail against the rich and perceptibly elite. Is this not hypocritical?

Several years ago the Cassini spacecraft detected that the rings around Saturn were eroding. Is this from humans? Is this due to what government defines as 'climate change'? No, it is not. The truth is that we are not experiencing climate change, but rather 'COSMIC CHANGE'. Yes, there are changes to our weather, but some of this is attributed to geoengineering, and world governments playing God with the weather, something even Nikola Tesla said was possible, because all weather is energy. Geoengineering is making the weather and humidity even worse, because it is creating a faux lower atmosphere with the metal particulates and aerosols that are making northeastern summers more humid, and thus more unhealthy; it is also not wholly safe for humans to ingest the particulates from geoengineering. Many climate activists scream the polar caps are melting. The ice is melting! I ask you: What brought us the ice caps? Answer: The last major ice age. What happened before the ice age? Well...there wasn't any ice! Rather the earth was temperate and warm, and guess what else? GREEN! Yes, oceans rose, but the earth was more plush.

Your Transportation and Climate Initiative is downright awful. It will do nothing except raise the costs of living for a state - Rhode Island - that is already last or near last in every important economic category, and rife with corruption. I respectfully urge you to rethink it. And I dare you to rebuild Tesla's Wardenclyffe and give natural, FREE power to world. Corporations, oil companies and utility companies give off far more emissions than daily citizens anywhere. The announcement of 'zero-point energy aircrafts' is an indirect admission that 'free energy' is a real phenomena that can be harvested. Thus, this energy that would beam from Nikola Tesla's power would be FREE, natural, and would not burden anyone. It would help to eliminate greed, and perhaps free people in poverty in the inner cities, who pay hundreds every month for gas, electricity and heat. Think about it, please. This initiative is wrong, and bad. It is not good for the people. It is not utilitarian in nature. It is empty and set in misconceptions. Thank you for your time.

I urge my Maryland legislators to support the TCI as a part of our urgent response to the dangers of climate change.
I believe that the transportation sector offers tremendous opportunities to improve energy efficiency and vastly reduce
carbon emissions. In cooperation with the other states in the RGGI we can make a big difference.

Public transportation and state vehicle fleets can be converted to hybrid or electric power. Making public transportation more reliable
will encourage the public to use it and rely less on their personal vehicles. This can cut traffic on the roads and eliminate the need for new super highways and bridges.
It is time for us to strengthen the joint efforts of the RGGI, not restrict them.

I and my family are absolutely opposed to this blatant effort to add another unfair tax to the already high burden that Maine taxpayers face. To call this tax a fee in order to skirt the Maine law is fraudulent and ethically wrong. Do not allow this to move forward!!

I am a mother and a grandmother. I am appealing to you as a parent, grandparent, uncle or aunt. We must ensure low-carbon transportation so that our next generations will be able to live. To do this I am asking that you approve:

- cap on carbon emissions of at least 25% by 2032
-an increase in the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities (>35%)
- investments be put towards active transportation like better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit
According to a recently released study by Harvard and other institutions, if the program is designed appropriately, up to 1,100 lives can be saved annually, and the region could see $11 billion in health benefits each year.
Thank you for yout consideration of these requests.
