Viewing Grant Proposal: City of Lansing Wastewater Treatment Facility Solar PV and Aeration

I support this project. The stated goal of the EIED grant program is to develop low carbon energy infrastructure, and the MI Healthy Climate Plan calls for Michigan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, with a prioritization on actions that will provide the most rapid gains in GHG reductions. Additionally, many local governments here in Michigan have set even more ambitious goals that will help move our state to carbon neutrality in an equitable manner. But achieving these goals can be difficult for these local governments and other similar entities as they do not have the financial resources that are available to larger entities, such as large corporations that report profits in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Therefore, funds from this grant should go towards projects like this one. Through this project, the City of Lansing will be able to significantly reduce their carbon emissions by installing renewable energy. This is perfectly in line with the stated goal of the EIED grant program, and thus should strongly be considered for funding.

I support this proposal and the use of renewables in WWT facilities.

I am in strong support of this project. This is exactly the type of project the language of this grant supports, and local communities need support and investment to build renewables at scale.

This is something greatly needed by the City, and will also help other cities as a case study for what they can do to improve their own operations. This is perfectly in line with the stated goal of the EIED grant program, and thus should strongly be considered for funding.

Many local governments have ambitious GHG reduction goals that are focused on equity, but it can be difficult for many of them to achieve their GHG reduction goals since they do not have the same financial resources as large corporations. However, with EIED grant program funding, the City of Lansing would be able to implement this project and greatly reduce their carbon emissions by installing renewable energy. This aligns with the stated goal of the EIED grant program to develop low carbon infrastructure. Therefore, this project should be strongly considered for funding.

I am strongly in support of this proposal. Both state and local governments have set ambitious goals for carbon neutrality, but achieving these goals can be difficult for many local governments due to a lack of financial resources – whereas large corporations that report profits of hundreds of millions of dollars should already have the funding for this work. Therefore, I strongly believe that funds from this grant program, the goal of which is to develop low carbon energy infrastructure, should go towards projects like this one. Funding this project would provide financial support to the City of Lansing in achieving their own plans for low carbon infrastructure. This will lead to deeper and more equitable emissions reductions than will many of the other proposals up for comment.
