Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Vaillant.
I think we can all agree that, globally, this past summer was undeniably an extreme confirmation of the damage of climate change. On one hand, we had those horrific natural disasters playing out, and with that comes a sense of urgency to make great changes. On the other hand, we have families, communities and towns that are currently reliant on an energy source we know to be dangerous to the planet.
What do you recommend to the members of this committee—to us as legislators—in balancing those two opposing realities?
