To Green or Not To Green- Ava B.

     Hillary Clinton has big plans in mind if she is to become President of the United States when it comes to changing our energy infrastructure: make acquisition of energy more "safe, reliable, and affordable" (hillaryclinton.com) while also having that energy's quality gradually become completely clean all across North America. Some ways to do so include repairing or replacing old pipelines to reduce methane leakage, improving pipeline regulations, making pacts to cut carbon pollution,  and limiting the amount of exhaust and chemicals that cars and other vehicles can be produced to release. By reducing tax loopholes and establishing a National Infrastructure Bank. and using that money to reward grants to cities or communities that work to reduce toxic chemical emissions and use clean energy, Clinton believes our country can also unlock new investment resources that provide economic opportunity for American companies and workers as well as a healthier, better protected environment. I agree with Clinton that improving the health of environment is very important and that it is something that our federal government should take time to invest in and figure out the problems, but at what cost? If all taxes need to be raised by dramatic amounts, I don't think it would be successful or make our citizens very happy.
