There can be no denying we have instigated a climate crisis and must take immediate action to mitigate the worst effects of it. Enacting a TCI program that addresses our carbon footprint and modes of transport is one way we can begin to do just that. Please do all you can to ensure we place a cap on carbon emissions (of at least 25%) by 2030, increase (by more than 35%) the minimum investment in overburdened and underserved communities, and invest in active transportation like better sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, and high quality public transit. Together we MUST find and implement multiple solutions in order to maintain a habitable climate for life on earth. Thank you for doing your part.	-

The power generation was mind boggling, and the strengthened panels reportedly stood up to temperature changes, and at least mid sized vehicles. So investing in our world and in our roads, and energy production in one fell swoop sounds like a brilliant solution. Investing in the front end of project that will pay for itself is not a sin, and political considerations of who takes responsibility are no longer an acceptable excuse with the stakes of the survival of the Earth at stake. Please consider this solution.	-
