2024 VT Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Esther Charlestin: We really have to confront the reality of climate change

Another issue Charlestin plans to address in her campaign is climate resiliency in the state, especially in the aftermath of last summer's devastating flooding. We need to have climate resistant communities," Charlestin said. "Are Vermonters really ready with the current infrastructure if another flood happens? Because it could. This means we really have to confront the reality of climate change."

Esther Charlestin: Invest in local clean energy projects

Climate Change is costing Vermont residents money and pain right now, and it will only get worse going forward if we do not act. The bills passed by our hardworking legislature are the kinds of progress we need to be making in addressing climate change. Bills such as h.687 h.289 and the Climate Superfund act are comprehensive compromises that demand a better, more sustainable future for our state while acknowledging the need for a just energy transition. Additionally, we need to invest in local clean energy projects that ensure both equity for all residents as well as taking a local approach to our shift to clean energy and sustainability.
