Hometown Publications: "Several Connecticut municipalities have committed to clean energy, according to the state's Climate Change website. Others have pledged to sign up customers for the Clean Energy Options program that demands electricity suppliers pull clean energy from the regional electricity grid.
I hope municipalities such as Bridgeport will pledge to move in the direction of clean energy that would put a stumbling block in the path of global warming.
It may cost a lot at first to convert to cleaner energy and break the dependence on oil, natural gas or coal. But it is an expense that will pay off in years to come; an expense we can't afford not to fund.
Using renewable energy sources will lighten our atmosphere and ensure a safer future for our children and grandchildren.
