The path to decarbonizing Connecticut’s energy economy is to transition all its sectors to use renewable energy, which does not emit greenhouse gases. 

Pass Connecticut’s bill implementing the Transportation & Climate Initiative Program during a special session in the near future.

Elizabeth L. Langhorne and Diane Hoffman strongly support the intention of Connecticut State Colleges & Universities to place a solar farm in Hamden, their home town, for its commitment to expanding renewable energy production.  However, they equally forcefully condemn the need to clear-cut 12 acres of woodland to install the solar farm, citing its loss of stored carbon and the destruction of ecological habitat that the forest provides.
