Jan 29, 2018, 7 to 9 PM

Richmond Climate Action Committee Invites you to a Meeting to find out about the ESSEX Plan - an Economy Strengthening Strategic Energy eXchange

Date/Time: Monday, January 29th, 7 to 9 pm
Place: Richmond Free Library (201 Bridge Street)
With Tom Hughes, Director, Energy Independent Vermont and Senator Chris Pearson (Chittenden County)

How can Vermonters address climate change; by reducing our burning of fossil fuels without damaging our economy, exploding our cost of living, penalizing those with low incomes or those who rely on gasoline for transportation and oil to heat our homes?

The ESSEX plan proposes to increase the cost of fossil fuels while reducing the cost of electricity and would provide rebates to all Vermont ratepayers with additional rebates to low-income ratepayers. The plan aims to harness the power of the market to reduce carbon pollution, help the state meet its climate and clean energy goals, create jobs, attract new businesses, and prioritize the most vulnerable.
