Amahlathi asezidolophini, uhlaza ezidolophini, kunye nolunye utyalo-mali lwemithombo yendalo lufumene umhlaba izolo kwingxoxo eqhubekayo yezinto eziphambili kwiiprojekthi kwisiCwangciso seNkcitho seNgxowa-mali yokuNcitshiswa kweGesi yoGreenhouse (GGRF) elandelayo.
KwiKomitana yoHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali yeNdibano yeZibonelelo, amalungu amaninzi azityhalela umva ngokuchasene neengqinisekiso zoLawulo zokuba utyalo-mali lohlaza ezidolophini luza kubandakanywa phantsi kweNkqubo yeNguqu yoLuntu lweMozulu (TCC). Ikomitana Usihlalo uRichard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) ngokukhawuleza yaqaphela ukuba uhlaza olusezidolophini kunye ne-TCC ziinkqubo ezahlukileyo kakhulu, ngelixa ngaxeshanye icacisa ukuba amahlathi asezidolophini nemigxobhozo ashiywe kuHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lweRhuluneli.
Ummeli we-California ReLeaf u-Alfredo Arredondo unikezele ngolunye ulwahlulo phakathi kwe-TCC kunye namahlathi asezidolophini, esithi "i-200 yezigidi zeerandi ezikhutshelweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku nge-TCC ... ziya kutyala malunga ne-10,000 yemithi." Ngokuthelekisa, u-Arredondo uphawule “[kunye] ne-17 lezigidi zeerandi eziphume kwiveki ephelileyo ngeNkqubo yamaHlathi yaseDolophini neyoLuntu yeCAL FIRE… Kuza kutyalwa imithi engama-21,000.” Xa wayebuzwa nguSihlalo ukuba kutheni uhlaza olusezidolophini, amahlathi asezidolophini, kunye nemigxobhozo ingenankxaso-mali kwisicwangciso sohlahlo lwabiwo-mali loLawulo, iOfisi yeRhuluneli yoCwangciso noPhando, uKate Gordon, waphendula wathi, “ngumbuzo olungileyo lowo.” INdibano kulindeleke ukuba ikhuphe isiCwangciso seNkcitho ye-GGRF ecetywayo kwiveki ezayo.
KwiKomitana yoHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali lweSenethi kwiZibonelelo, Usihlalo uBob Wieckowski (D-Fremont) Utyhilile isicwangciso senkcitho seGGRF seNdlu yeeNgwevu esibuyisele ngaphezulu kweedola ezingama-250 ezigidi kwiinkqubo zemihlaba yendalo neyokusebenza ngaphambili ebezixhaswe ngemali evela kwingeniso yefandesi ye-cap-and-trade, kuqukwa ne-50 yezigidi zeedola kumahlathi asezidolophini kunye nohlaza lwasezidolophini (jonga kwiphepha 31 Isicwangciso seSeneti yeGGRF). UMphathi weMfundo noNxibelelwano we-California ReLeaf, uMariela Ruacho, wayekho ukuxhasa la manqanaba enkxaso-mali, eqaphela “olu tyalo-mali kumahlathi asezidolophini kunye nohlaza lwasezidolophini zizinto eziphambili… kwaye ziya kufikelela kwiiprojekthi zeziseko ezingundoqo eziluhlaza ukunceda ukuhlangabezana neenjongo zethu zokunciphisa iGHG ngo-2030 kunye neenjongo zokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni.” Ikomitana yoHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali yeSenethi yamkele isicwangciso esihlaziyiweyo.
Yintoni ethethwe ngabanye izolo kwiintlanganiso zeKomitana yoHlahlo-lwabiwo-mali malunga notyalo-mali olufunekayo kwi-Urban Forestry & Urban Greening
- Ilungu leNdibano uLuz Rivas (D-Arleta), ekuphenduleni iRhuluneli iMay Revise: “Ndiphoxekile kukubona inkxaso-mali yeendawo eziluhlaza… uluntu lwethu olunemivuzo ephantsi lufuna iipaki nemithi eyongezelelekileyo, kunye namahlathi asezidolophini.”
- U-Rico Mastrodonato, uMphathi oMkhulu woBudlelwane kuRhulumente, Ukuthenjwa kuMhlaba woLuntu: [Uhlaza olusezidolophini kunye namahlathi asezidolophini] “iiprojekthi mhlawumbi lolona tyalo-mali lwethu lungcono kungenelelo ukuze silungiselele abona bantu basesichengeni kubushushu nezikhukula. Sifuna uninzi lwezi luntu lulungiselelwe oko siyaziyo ukuba kuyeza. Ngokokubona kwam, bubomi okanye imeko yokufa.”
- ULinda Khamoushian, iGqwetha loMgaqo-nkqubo oPhezulu, California Bicycle Coalition:“Siyalubulela uqingqo-mali lwekomitana [yeSenethi] ukulungiselela utyalo-mali olubalulekileyo kumahlathi asezidolophini kunye nohlaza lwasezidolophini.”
QAPHELA: Yintoni onokuyenza?
Nxibelelana Ilungu leNdibano okanye iSenator kwaye ubacele ukuba baxhase inkxaso-mali yeNkqubo yeDolophu kunye noLuntu oluvela kwi-CAL FIRE kunye neNkqubo yoHlaza yaseDolophini evela kwi-Arhente yeZibonelelo zeNdalo yaseCalifornia.
Ungayibona le nto Ileta yeNkxaso kumaqela achaphazelekayo ahlukeneyo acela inkxaso-mali kwi-GGRF yezeNdalo kunye neMihlaba eSebenzayo, kuqukwa uya kufumana imibuzo echaziweyo ngokwenkqubo nganye.
