TopicCarbon Neutral Legislation
Content Oklahoma could benefit, in many ways, by acting to help make our state carbon neutral. Zero net-energy home and building construction needs to be promoted. Vehicles that fail to meet minimum fuel use standards should be discouraged by a special carbon tax on dealers. The use of alternative energy, and energy conservation, should be encouraged. An array of carbon sequestration efforts must be supported. The public could be encouraged to only buy and use energy efficient appliances/ equipment. Clean waste-to-energy technologies may be utilized. These and similar actions are urgently needed. There is ample scientific evidence that the public, our economy, and the environment would achieve several positive results from such efforts.
