Fiscul Transition
What do transition bonds help finance?
Emission cuts in hard-to-abate sectors
What is the main benefit of community-owned energy projects?
They keep economic benefits local and build public trust
what are fossil fuels subsidies?
Financial assistance makes these fuels cheaper then they really are or the damage they cause
Extra Co2 released from the overgrowing surplus of laundry carts.
monetary assistance provided to oil purification companies allowing them to purify crude oil at a lower cost to the consumer. This leads to greater concentrations of crude tar and hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere.
