Putney Town Meeting - Article 16

Past event
Mar 6, 2018, 10 AM to 7 PM

Putney residents will vote yay or nay on the non-binding Resolution: Shall the voters of the Town of Putney consider resolution by petition ...

WHEREAS extreme and erratic temperatures, increasingly severe storms, accelerating rise in tick-borne diseases, and threats to farmers and maple sugar makers clearly demonstrate that climate change is one of the most urgent problems facing our state, nation, and the world, and

WHEREAS the state of Vermont has a goal In the Comprehensive Energy Plan to achieve 90% of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, yet is making insufficient progress toward achieving that goal;

Now, therefore, be resolved:

1. That the Town urges the State of Vermont to:

a) Halt any new or expanded fossil fuel infrastructure, including but not limited to pipelines;
b) Firmly commit to at least 90% renewable energy for all people of Vermont, with Interim deadlines; and,
c) Enure that the transition to renewable energy is fair and equitable for all residents, with no harm to low-income people, people of color, or rural communities.
