PETITION TEXT
Dear Governor Napolitano,
Through the Western Climate Initiative (WCI), Arizona has a chance to lead the way with real global warming solutions. But we need to make sure that the WCI commits to a course of action that is both aggressive and practical. This kind of leadership is essential to protecting future generations from the worst effects of global warming.
This summer, the WCI should adopt a plan that covers all pollution sources; allows for the auction of excess-pollution permits; invests the revenue from pollution permits on clean energy solutions; has strong standards for pollution offsets; and is enforceable, transparent and free from loopholes.
Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.
