CAAP Passed but not needed, not good for SA business environment

With all due respect to the City’s Climate Office presenter, ClimateScience has been distorted so that it’s not clear.

1. Climate Change is real
2. Accurate longterm historical data provides evidence that man-made climate change is very minimal 
3. The costs are too high and the #CAAP will:
4. (CAAP will) Drive up CPS Energy rates by $1000/family annually as a similar Climate Plan in Georgetown has directly increased residents of Georgetown’s energy and tax bills by 30% over just the last 3 years. CoSA has a fairly descent process in comparing other cities’ policies as a benchmark. It’s critical you, the current City Officials, look at what’s happening to cost of living in CA and Georgetown that are adversely impacting families
5. (CAAP will) Have adverse impact on business & the cost of doing business that will be passed on to consumers as a hidden tax
6. (CAAP will) Drive up cost of all construction especially new home construction
7. (CAAP will) Negatively impacts the poor even more particularly as evidence from a liberal group in California called “The 200” has sued CARB (California Air Resources Board) for being racially biased as their CAAP-like plan has hurt minorities
8. (CAAP will) Grow government, government mandates intruding into peoples’ freedom and will create an even greater need for more social welfare programs to help the disadvantaged 
9. (CAAP will) Have no real substantial impact to lower the temperature or improve the climate. Adults know this as most of us lived through the 60s & 70s when the Climate Alarmists’ greatest concern was the next Ice Age
10. Conclusion: The CAAP is less about the environment and more about growing the size, scope and intrusion of government in San Antonian lives, therefore, we request you VOTE NO on the #CAAP to protect San Antonio from longterm domestic failure
11. SA should focus less on “high level thinking” ideas and get back to basics of serving the people of this community by being great at its primary function and core services to help promote, uphold & foster the family.

It’s crucial to our economic future to avoid unnecessary, unhelpful unproductive government spending, intrusion, or mandates like the CAAP that will not significantly or effectively help the individual OR common good and will NOT promote longterm domestic prosperity. It’s crucial that the Council act rationally and with maturity to preserve our way of life by voting NO on the ineffective CAAP proposal that has no published cost estimates.
