Demand triple -bottom -line accountant of energy costs from Dover Co. They're not providing us with the cheapest power as they're obligated to do because they don't factor in the huge hidden costs of fossil fuel based -energy - medical, environmental, etc. More bike racks around town. Use some car parking spaces for big racks, not little ones on the sidewalk. Member of Talent Clean Energy Plan - inspiring event and thank you for the FACTS and DATA! Excellent turnout and presentations. Keep up the good work! 1. Climate Plan should be socially equitable: measures used should not displace low income or vulnerable people from housing or jobs cause of costs from lowering GHG emiss ions. 2. Low income and vulnerable people must have voice in measures taken to reduce GHG emissions.
