Right on. I hope one of the speakers points out that economic development is a bottom up process, and that the only way to create prosperous communities in RI is by focusing on moving to zero carbon by investing in the lowest income commuities first.
I have one 'but'......"The State of Rhode Island can't pay for the necessities Rhode Islanders need to survive."
Since when is the State responsible for our necessities? When do we accept responsibility for our own well-being? Our social system is designed to give people a hand up if they need it. It's not supposed to be a lifestyle. The system has been used and abused.

The problem is that we have to survive, too. We also need the necessities. At some point, the well runs dry. Then what??
