Candidates Promise to Push Pollution for Profit

The idea, made by some Glendale City Council candidates, that Glendale would buy expensive permits and purchase expensive emission reduction credits (from cities or businesses that are not using the credits they have) so that we can pollute our OWN neighborhoods (especially the Rancho, Pelanconi and adjacent neighborhoods), to sell dirty energy into a market that we don’t currently have access to and that is not interested in buying it at the times we’d want to sell it, is not only immoral, it is likely a money-losing scenario.
