Trump asked the fossil fuel industry for a billion dollars in return for reversing all the laws that reduce climate change. He says more oil is needed to keep our economy growing. We do need some oil energy for our economy, but Trump’s plan would mostly benefit his reelection and his super-rich contributors. And unfortunately, boosting oil use would doom our children to lives of climate chaos. Harris would keep reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But she will allow continued fracking of natural gas until we can build as much green energy infrastructure as we’ll need. This is a compromise that would protect their economy now, and hopefully protect our children’s future. Vote to save them! ~ Richard Thomas, Waterville
