Earlier this week, I held a panel discussion on the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCI) with Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Katie Dykes, Connecticut Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto, and Save Our Sound and 20th District resident Alex Rodriguez.
The latest DEEP report reveals that greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle exhaust and building heating and cooling in the state are increasing, which is not in line with the substantial reductions that will be needed to meet the 2030 and 2050 reduction targets set by the General Assembly.
The TCI is a multi-state initiative to cut greenhouse gases and transform our transportation system in an effort to address climate change. With this plan, Connecticut could be a climate leader and help to stabilize our Earth's climate for 2050 and beyond.
If you missed the discussion, you can watch a recording of it here or click the image above. I welcome any questions you might have about this proposal. |
