Climate change is a very serious issue. Scientists all across the planet have confirmed that the earth’s temperature is on the increase every year. This has led to major droughts and significant severe weather events that are on the increase.
These facts make it very clear that the city of Willmar needs to take steps to become more environmentally friendly. Willmar has that opportunity through Solar Automation Permit Processing. This is a platform to be used by roofers and solar panel companies in the process of installing solar panels. This is a state-approved process.
The state will provide a financial reward for adopting the process. It is a win-win for citizens because they can fight climate change and save money on electricity. This is truly a no- brainer, and it is very much needed in this climate crisis.
We must strongly encourage our leaders in Willmar to adopt this great step in fighting climate change. This will also show that Willmar is a forward-thinking city that is open to new ideas that will greatly benefit our community.
John Vickrey is a member of the Willmar Area Climate Action Group.
