This is a human-caused climate change deniers' bill . "It pretends climate change doesn’t exist because it’s too scary to face. But part of the title says that it would be a good idea to consider all the costs of pollution from fossil fuels in state energy decisions, and that is a great idea. The wording in this bill is extremist and alienating and anti-science. There is a need to accept the scientific consensus about global warming from fossil fuel pollution as identified in the 2022 NH Climate Assessment Report and the USGCRP's Fifth National Climate Assessment. We need science-based policy, not ideology-driven irresponsibility. There are extremely high costs of climate pollution (just ask Pacific Palisades, California), damages to resources and property, adverse effects on health and nature, etc that must be factored in to a re-write of this bill. I oppose it in its current form.
