State board of education looking for new providers in preschool ‘deserts’

Agency looks to open 5,000 new slots in underserved communities

SPRINGFIELD – Even though Gov. JB Pritzker has yet to sign the budget bill lawmakers just passed, the Illinois State Board of Education is seeking applicants for some of the new money contained in that bill.

ISBE is looking for new providers to o�er preschool programs in areas of the state designated as “preschool deserts,” with the goal of creating 5,000 new preschool slots in the upcoming school year.

The $75 million in new funding available for new preschool slots this year is part of Pritzker’s $250 million “Smart Start Illinois” initiative, a four-year e�ort that seeks to make early childhood day care and preschool available and a�ordable to every family in the state who needs it.

That will bring the state’s total funding for early childhood block grants to just over $673 million.

“We are wanting to make sure that every community is aware that these grants are available,” State Superintendent of Education Tony Sanders said in a recent interview. “We want to make sure that school districts know. We want to make sure that day care centers, religious

organizations, community-based organizations – that anybody that might serve children in pre-K opportunities knows about these opportunities and can apply.”

ISBE defi nes a preschool desert as an area where there is an insu�cient number of publicly funded slots to serve at least 80 percent of 3- and 4-year-old children from low-income families.

“And you find them everywhere, from Belvedere to Springfield to Shawnee, all the way down in southern Illinois,” Sanders said.

The agency has identified 196 areas –including district regions, counties and ZIP codes – in the state that meet that definition. Each has a gap of 15 or more seats. Of those, 108 districts show a 100 percent need, meaning there are as many needed seats as there are priority eligible children. Those areas have a combined 5,100 needed seats.

The grants will fund the creation of new programs as well as the expansion of existing programs with priority being given to applicants who serve children in preschool deserts outside the city of Chicago, which has a separate appropriation for early childhood programs.

The grants provide funding for three programs:

• Preschool for All, which is 2.5 hours per day of preschool for 3-5-year-olds with licensed teachers and a standards-aligned curriculum.

• Preschool for All Expansion, which o�ers five hours of preschool per day along with physical and mental health services for 3-5-year-olds in the highest need communities.

• Prevention Initiative, which o�ers child development and family support services for expectant parents and families with children from birth to age 3 who are at risk of academic challenges.

ISBE has developed a website that offers information about the grant programs and technical assistance for potential applicants. Applications are open to public entities as well as private nonprofit and for-profit organizations. Applications are due no later than 4 p.m. on June 14.

Pride Month

Pride becomes a minefield for big companies

Despite negative publicity, many continue their support

Many big companies, including Target and Bud Light’s parent, are still backing Pride events in June despite the minefield that the monthlong celebration has become for some of them.

Target and Bud Light recently came under fire for their efforts to appeal to the LGBTQ+ community, only to come under more fire when they tried to backpedal.

But even as they battle the negative publicity, Target and Bud Light haven’t pulled away from this year’s Pride celebrations. Target is a platinum sponsor of NYC Pride, which requires a $175,000 donation. And Bud Light’s parent Anheuser-Busch is a sponsor of Pride celebrations in Chicago, San Francisco, Charlotte and elsewhere.

Many other big companies are sticking to their sponsorships as well, including PepsiCo, Starbucks, General Motors and Jeep parent Stellantis — all of which said they have been supporting Pride events for decades and aren’t hesitating to back them again this year.

Jeff Gennette, CEO of Macy’s, another major Pride sponsor, told The Associated Press that although the company has received some negative reactions to its Pride merchandise, the company is “very careful about how we put out this product that we select and how we position it on website and in stores” and doesn’t plan to remove any of it.

“We stand by our values and we’re a highly inclusive organization. And we think the bulk of America is as well,” Gennette said.

InterPride, which represents more than 375 Pride organizations globally, said 40% have reported their sponsorship dollars are up 20% or more this year.

The buying power of the LGBTQ+ community is likely too big for companies to ignore. LGBT Capital, a U.K.-based investment company, estimates the U.S. has more than 17 million LGBTQ+ people with more than $1 trillion in spending power.

“For every one customer knocking the display over, there are 10 who love it, and they are going to vote with their feet,” said Allen Adamson, co-founder and managing partner of marketing firm Metaforce.

Anheuser-Busch didn’t respond to questions from the AP about its Pride sponsorships. Target said its focus is “moving

forward with our continuing commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community.”

Despite the corporate support, there are clouds hovering over the rainbow.

A majority of negative social media posts about Pride this year are attacking companies for being “woke” and accusing them of sexualizing or grooming children, says RILA Global Consulting, which tracks more than 100 million websites and social media pages per day.

That’s an abrupt change from last year, when a majority of negative social media posts were focused on brands being “inauthentic” and not truly supporting the LGBTQ population even as they expanded their offerings.

In May and June of 2022, there were fewer than 400 posts calling for Pride-related boycotts, RILA said. This year, in May alone there were more than 15,000.

The backlash comes amid a furious and fast-spreading debate over the rights of transgender people. At least 17 states have enacted laws restricting or banning gender-affirming care for minors, most since the start of this year.

That has left many companies feeling jittery.

“I had a sponsor last night say their CEO is skittish about getting political,” said Fernando Lopez, executive director of San Diego Pride. “The fact that they’re even having that conversation is disheartening at best.”

Target has long marketed to the LGBTQ+ community. But it recently found itself at the center of the bullseye when angry customers tipped over Pride displays and threatened staff in some stores. Target wound up removing certain items, to the dismay of LGBTQ+ supporters.

Six weeks earlier, transgender influencer

Dylan Mulvaney revealed on social media that Bud Light had sent her a commemorative can emblazoned with her picture. Boycott threats immediately followed, fueled by conservative commentators such as Matt Walsh, who has 1.9 million Twitter followers.

Kohl’s, Lego and Southwest Airlines also have taken heat for their LGBTQ-friendly marketing in recent days.

The backlash has produced real consequences. In the month ending May 13, Bud Light’s U.S. sales were down 23%, according to Bump Williams Consulting. Target’s shares have plunged 20% since mid-May, wiping away $15 billion in market value, although that’s partly due to investor concerns about inflation’s impact on shoppers.

Lopez, at San Diego Pride, worries that

some companies will back out of Pride celebrations because of concerns that boycotters will target them.

“Companies may not be anti-LGBTQ, but they don’t want to be putting their employees in a potentially dangerous space,” Lopez said.

Suzanne Ford, the executive director of San Francisco Pride, said she understands that companies are facing difficult decisions but they also know that the LGBTQ+ community is watching very closely this year.

“In the end, human rights will win out,” Ford said. “And we’re going to remember: Did you shirk and disappear on us or did you step forward and say, ‘Even if it’s unpopular with a segment of the country, this is the right thing to do.’”

Some Pride organizations had already distanced themselves from Bud Light because they felt it wasn’t doing enough to support the LGBTQ+ community beyond the street parties in June.

When Anheuser-Busch’s multi-year sponsorship agreement with Miami Beach Pride ended in 2021, the organization signed a new multi-year contract with Molson Coors. Robert Legere, director of sponsorships for Miami Beach Pride, noted that Molson Coors’ seltzer brand Vizzy made a $1 million donation to the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ+ group.

“We don’t just blindly say, ‘Oh sure, we’ll take your money.’ We want to make sure the companies have a clear path to why they want to participate,” Legere said.

Others, like San Francisco Pride, are sticking with Bud Light but bracing themselves for backlash from attendees who think the brand should have done more to support Mulvaney.

Ford, the executive director, said Anheuser-Busch has been a longtime patron and increased its donation to San Francisco Pride this year. The group relies on its sponsors to keep its two-day, $3 million festival free, Ford said, and its costs for labor and security are skyrocketing.

“There is some tension and we will be watching it. But on a local level, they’ve been a very great supporter,” she said.

In its hometown of St. Louis, Bud Light will sponsor the main stage at Pride and provide the beer for the VIP tent, said Jordan Braxton, the director of diversity, inclusion and outreach for Pride St. Louis.

“Times can be difficult, but they support us and we support them,” Braxton said. “They’ve been supporting us for years. It’s not our fault that you just woke up and realized it.”

Counteroffensive? Probing defenses? What’s playing out on Ukraine’s battlefields?

The video, released over the weekend by Ukraine, shows several of its soldiers in full combat gear raising a finger to their lips. “Plans love silence. There will be no start announcement,” say the words flashing on the screen afterward, followed by warplanes in flight.

While Kyiv is keeping silent about the start of any counteroffensive, fighting is raging in several sections of the front line, signaling that the long-expected campaign could be getting underway.

Moscow claims it successfully fended off a Ukrainian attempt to ram through Russia’s defenses, but some pro-Kremlin military bloggers painted a different picture, acknowledging that Kyiv’s troops made some quick gains.

‘SHAPING OPERATIONS’

In recent weeks, Ukraine has intensified the shelling of Russian positions and successfully pushed back against Russia’s attempts to extend its gains outside the eastern city of Bakhmut that it reclaimed last month in the war’s longest and bloodiest battle.

Pro-Kyiv paramilitary groups of Russians who have been fighting alongside Ukrainian armed forces also launched forays over the border into Russian territory, attacking the Belgorod region.

The Ukrainian shelling and the cross-border incursions ravaged several towns and villages near the frontier and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents, angering Russian hawks who criticized the Kremlin for failing to strike back resolutely.

And on May 30, a rare drone attack targeted Moscow, causing only minor damage but exposing glaring breaches in the capital’s air defenses and underlining its vulnerability.

Military analysts describe the attacks as part of “shaping operations,” a series of moves intended to probe Russian defenses, force Moscow to spread its forces thin and draw attention from areas where Ukraine might focus its counteroffensive.

The Russian military, in turn, has intensified strikes deep inside Ukraine, launching a barrage of near-daily drone and missile attacks against high-value military facilities.

Russia declared it destroyed the U.S.made Patriot missile defense systems in Kyiv, successfully struck the military intelligence headquarters, also in the Ukrainian capital, and hit air bases and weapons stockpiles in several regions. These claims couldn’t be independently

verified. Ukrainian officials acknowledged some of the strikes but have remained cryptic about the damage.

Russian military bloggers described them as part of Moscow’s efforts to derail the counteroffensive by softening Ukraine’s air defenses and destroying Western weapons and ammunition intended for the campaign.

HYBRID WARFARE

Both sides have sought to mislead and weaken each other through propaganda and disinformation.

On Sunday, Ukraine hacked into some TV broadcasts in Crimea to air a menacing Ukrainian military statement about the counteroffensive.

In an unprecedented move intended to undermine morale, broadcasts in several Russian regions were hacked Monday to carry a fake address by President Vladimir Putin in which a voice resembling his was heard declaring martial law, a nationwide mobilization and a massive evacuation of three border regions.

Kyiv, in turn, accused Moscow of hybrid warfare. It said Russian claims of a major Ukrainian attempt to pierce Russian defenses was part of “information and psychological operations” intended to “demoralize Ukrainians and mislead the community.”

Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak mocked the Russian claims as “virtual reality,” saying sardonically: “Moscow is already actively involved in repelling ... a global offensive that does not yet exist.”

THE MAIN STRIKE

Military analysts say Ukraine has tried to hide its intentions by launching multiple attacks on several sectors of the front line to force Russia to scatter its resources and distract them from where the main strike would be launched.

“The attacks in the Zaporizhzhia and the Donetsk regions, the developments in Russia’s Belgorod region, and increasingly frequent strikes on Russian military depots in the rear are all part of preparations to the Ukrainian counteroffensive,” said Ukrainian military analyst Roman Svitan. “Kyiv is looking for Russia’s weak spots and trying to spread the front as wider as possible.”

Many military experts expect Ukraine to try to ram through Russian defenses toward the Sea of Azov coast to break the land corridor to Crimea that Moscow created after capturing the key port of Mariupol in May 2022.

Russian officials and military blog-

gers suggested the latest attacks in the southern part of the Donetsk region and the neighboring Zaporizhzhia region that began Sunday could herald the start of that big push.

The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine on Sunday sent several battalions to try to ram through the Russian defensive positions, which were pushed back after suffering significant losses.

Some Russian military bloggers offered a less-optimistic view, saying Ukrainian troops managed to make some gains Sunday and were pouring more resources to exploit that success. Some said that, for the first time, German-made Leopard tanks were seen in significant numbers in the area.

TASKS AND CHALLENGES

Whether or not the latest fighting marks the start of Ukraine’s counteroffensive, many observers warned against expectations of a quick breakthrough that could end the war quickly.

“We need to understand that what we’re calling the Ukraine counteroffensive is not like a football match,” said General Sir Richard Barrons, the former Commander of the U.K. Joint Forces Command. “You know, it’s not going to be done and dusted in 90 minutes with a halftime on an appointed day. It’s been nine months at least in the preparation in the sense that they’ve had to gather weapons and ammunition from NATO. Not enough, I think, so far.”

Barrons, who is co-chair of the consulting group Universal Defence & Security Solutions, noted Russia has bolstered its forces, replenished some of its ammunition stockpiles and built complex defensive lines.

“Russia has had time to lay out a textbook fixed defense,” he said, with three lines of trenches and held-down positions allowing tanks to come forward to fire at the attackers.

“They will have rehearsed the artillery fire plan in support of defending those

lines, and they will have rehearsed the crucial rapid counterattacks, which are so vital when you are trying to restore a line that’s being attacked,” Barrons added.

He predicted Ukraine will try to focus its nine newly formed brigades armed with Western weapons to ram through Russian defenses in just one, two or three places, trying to concentrate their forces to have a significant numerical superiority “in order to smash their way through and then exploit and hold on to the ground that they’ve taken.”

The offensive “is going to be, in a land sense, quite a narrow frontage,” he said.

“I’d be surprised if it’s more than 20 miles, to be honest,” Barrons added. “The battlefield success has to be enough to show hope and prospect to bind in further strategic support.”

He emphasized the Russian army has learned from its setbacks last fall when it retreated from large areas in the Kharkiv and Kherson regions under the brunt of a Ukrainian counteroffensive, noting it could be more challenging this time for Ukraine to push the Russians out.

“The thing that is most important about this offensive is whenever it comes, however successful it is, it is simply not possible for it to throw every Russian out of Ukraine unless the Russians decided to give up and go,” Barrons said. “And they are not going to do that.”

The West must mobilize its military industries to ramp up support for Ukraine to allow it to win, he said.

“The key to this counteroffensive is to show enough battlefield success to show to the West that the right and reasonable thing to do is to get on with industrial mobilization,” Barrons said, estimating that Europe must spend about 100 billion euros ($107 billion) a year for the next three years.

What to stream this week: Janelle Monáe, a Cheetos origin story, Diablo IV and ‘Avatar’

Albums from Janelle Monáe and Niall Horan, as well as a TV movie about a FritoLay janitor who claims to have invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos are among the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you. Among the offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists are the streaming debut of “Avatar: The Way of Water” and the celebrity-stuffed “Stars on Mars,” where the likes of Lance Armstrong and Ariel Winter are put in a Mars simulation and presented with a series of challenges to colonize their version of the Red Planet.

NEW MOVIES TO STREAM

— “Avatar: The Way of Water” finally washes onto streaming shores Wednesday. James Cameron’s sci-fi sequel will begin streaming on Disney+

and HBO Max after becoming the third highest-grossing movie of all time in theaters. “The Way of Water” has made $2.32 billion at the box office, trailing only the $2.9 billion of the original “Avatar” and the $2.79 billion of “Avengers: Endgame.” In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called “The Way of Water,” “a truly dazzling cinematic experience that will have you floating on a blockbuster high.”

— Nike,Tetris and Blackberry have all gotten the big-screen treatment this year. Now, it’s Cheetos’ turn. “Flamin’ Hot,” which debuts Friday, June 9, on Hulu, is about Richard Montañez, a Frito-Lay janitor who claims to have invented the spicier Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Directed by Eva Longoria, the movie is based on Montañez’s memoir, “Flamin’ Hot: The Incredible True Story of One Man’s Rise from Janitor to Top Executive.” Though reports have cast doubt on the veracity of his claims, “Flamin’ Hot” abides by the old movie maxim: Print the Frito-Legend.

— As “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” hits theaters, Disney+ is streaming all four previous “Indiana Jones” movies, plus the series “The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones.” Since May 31, subscribers have been able to watch “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” And, yes, “Raiders” is still No. 1.

NEW MUSIC TO STREAM

— Niall Horan shows back up with “The Show,” his third solo album and first since 2020’s chart-topping “Heartbreak Weather.” A coach for “The Voice” and former member of One Direction, Horan has released two singles from the new collection — the sweeping and driving “Heaven” and the catchy “Meltdown,” a musical promise that “when it all melts down/I’ll be there.” He’s also announced his first headlining shows in six years as well as his biggest venues to date across Europe, Oceania and North America.

— Sensuality will be on tap when Janelle Monáe releases “The Age of Pleasure,” her first album since 2018. “’Cause for your love, I’ll take my time/Just wanna feel your hips on mine,” Monáe sings in the single “Lipstick Lover.” Another offering

is “Float” featuring Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, which has been used by the NBA and contains the line “It’s hard to look at my resume and not find a reason to toast.” The album packaging and fold-out sleeve contains a hidden surprise for listeners: a close-up painting of Monáe’s chest.

— It’s back to his day job for Jason Isbell. The singer-songwriter has already been the subject of the HBO documentary “Running With Our Eyes Closed” and got a role in Martin Scorsese’s movie “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Now comes the album “Weathervanes” with his band the 400 Unit. The 13-tracks include the powerful anti-gun violence song “Save The World” and the intimate “Death Wish,” with a partner struggling to help the other cope with their self-destructive behavior. “Who’s left to pray to/What’s the difference in breakdown and a breakthrough?” he sings.

— AP Entertainment Writer Mark Kennedy

NEW SERIES TO STREAM

— Twelve celebrities, including former cyclist Lance Armstrong, Ariel Winter of “Modern Family” and Tom Schwartz of “Vanderpump Rules,” are put in a Mars simulation and presented with a series of challenges to colonize their version of the Red Planet. William Shatner, Captain Kirk from “Star Trek” and the oldest person to fly to space, serves as host from mission control. “If you need anything, anything at all, you’re on your own,” says Shatner in the trailer. “Stars on Mars” debuts Monday on Fox.

— When “Cruel Summer” debuted its first season in 2021 on Freeform, it was an immediate hit for the network. Season two features a new cast and new mystery but, like its predecessor, takes place over alternate timelines. Lexi Underwood of “Little Fires Everywhere” stars alongside Sadie Stanley, and Griffin Gluck with Jessica Biel as a co-executive producer. The story is set in the Pacific Northwest against the backdrop of the Y2K time period, when the tech world feared computers and government systems would malfunction over programming when the calendar flipped to the year 2000. Fans of the Shonda Rhimes series “Private Practice” may also be tickled to see KaDee Strickland, Paul Adelstein and Gluck reunite in “Cruel Summer” after working together on the former

ABC series.

— Netflix’s “Never Have I Ever” drops its fourth and final season on Thursday. The series stars Maitreyi Ramakrishnan in a coming-of-age story about an Indian American high school teen coping with the sudden death of her father, first loves and lusts, friendship, and self-identity. Even better, it’s narrated by John McEnroe. In season four, Ramakrishnan’s Devi is in her senior year of high school and getting ready to go to college. The show, co-created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher is whip smart (as is Kaling’s trademark), up to date on pop culture, funny and touching.

NEW VIDEO GAMES TO PLAY

— Fans of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo series have been to hell and back waiting for a new chapter — the last one came out more than a decade ago — but Diablo IV has finally arrived. The conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells is still raging, and some knuckleheads have decided now would be a good time to reawaken the superpowerful demon queen Lilith. Your character — rogue, sorcerer, necromancer, barbarian or druid — has the thankless job of trying to prevent Lilith from wreaking too much havoc in the mortal plane called Sanctuary. Blizzard has turned Sanctuary into a sprawling open world with a beefy solo campaign, plenty of side missions, player vs. player arenas and the promise of many quests to come. The war resumes Tuesday on PC, Xbox X/S/One and PlayStation 5/4, although early access has already opened for deluxe and ultimate edition buyers.

— Sweden’s Frictional Games has been building an eerie alternate world since 2010, when it launched the surprise indie hit Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The nightmare continues in Amnesia: The Bunker, in which battle-scarred World War I soldier Henri Clement finds himself trapped underground with a beast that may be even more dangerous than the chaos ravaging the surface. Frictional says the bunker is more expansive than previous Amnesia settings, and Henri can at least fight back with his revolver — though ammunition may be hard to come by. The horror sets in Tuesday on PC, Xbox X/S/One and PlayStation 5/4.

Brought to you by the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

While the heat is here and the vegetables have been planted, we are growing without much rain in the Rockford area this year. As of last week, Winnebago County was classifi ed as being “Abnormally Dry” with potential to move into drought shortly and leading to the slow growing of plants. What I am sharing with you is not a surprise. The advice I share this week may provide some help but we still need rain.

First o�, you may need to get new plants. If your plants have been planted in the last two weeks and you find with

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Dealing with drought in the vegetable garden

daily watering that there is not much change in their growth, you may want to get backup vegetable transplants or total replacements. I share this as many nurseries and garden centers are beginning to be sold out for the season.

Any newly planted plants in the last week should be watered almost daily. These transplants are very vulnerable to the heat we are experiencing. Water at the base of the plant as watering the entire plant does not help and at the base is where the plants take up soil nutrients. If you are growing in containers, water these every day and water until it leaks from the base of your container.

Most vegetables need 1-1 ½ inches of water every week. Because of these dry conditions and increasing evaporation, you probably want to increase this. Further, try to water your plants in the morning with cooler temperatures.

To conserve water, mulch around your plants. Wood chips, straw, mulched leaves, and other products can be placed around your plants to keep water in and reduce evaporation. I have found that my vegetables with mulch are doing much better so far compared to those plants without.

Your perennial fruit and vegetable plants could use some water too. As May

has been much drier this year, it means some of these perennial plants have not received the water they need this season. So I would water rhubarb, asparagus, berries, grapes, and fruit trees right now during this dry period. If you are growing garlic, they would benefit from a good soaking of water.

Unfortunately, we are in a period where we just will need to wait and see if the rain we need arrives sooner than later.

Transitioning to cleaner energy

Recently, at an EU parliament event in Europe titled Beyond Growth Conference, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the economic model based on fossil fuels is simply obsolete. But she did not rule out economic growth.

Energy expert Nate Hagens had a brief response to her statement and indicated there will be more future discussions of degrowth. While not a degrowther, he shares some of their concerns but believes the degrowth position has some energy and financial logic flaws.

He feels we need to understand the effort, create a destination such as sustainability to work toward and design a strategy to get from where we are and where we hope to be.

He describes the current global situation as complex, citing the war in Ukraine and e�orts to reduce the dollar dominance in global trade at a time when the global system is insolvent. While the global north is responsible for 80% of global emissions, it has a moral responsibility to

aid other countries. But the amount of aid must be limited to avoid a disruption in the global economy or result in a massive increase in resource consumption by poor recipient nations.

The first countries experiencing degrowth will find it painful and chaotic but might fi nd themselves having an advantage being early adapters of resilience.

At the recent G7 summit in Japan, Dr. Faith Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, pointed out that a transition to clean energy is occurring at a much faster pace than generally believed. The gains in 2023 have doubled what was projected in 2020 with an additional 440 gigawatts of new renewable capacity.

Clean energy technologies investments are outpacing spending on fossil fuels. Of the $2.8 USD trillion investment, more than $1.7 trillion is targeted at renewables, EV, grids, storage, energy e�ciency, heat pumps and low-emission fuels. Only slightly more than $1 trillion is expected to go to coal, gas and oil.

A recent newsletter from the International Energy Agency points out

that new manufacturing capacity of key technologies supporting the clean energy transition such as solar PV, batteries and electrolysers is expanding rapidly.

In the United States, the recent BidenMcCarthy agreement to raise the national debt ceiling includes provisions which could speed up approval of clean energy projects including solar and wind farms. As pointed out in The Boiling Point, new provisions could also speed up permitting fossil fuel projects such as pipelines, power plants and export facilities. These exemptions are seen by the Center of Biological Diversity as undermining the intent of the National Environmental Protection Act to provide the public an opportunity to express their concerns of how such projects will impact them. The Boiling Point also cited the contrasting view of what the Center for Biological Diversity and other organizations prefer for our renewable energy future. Their preference prioritizes energy conservation, distributed and responsibly sited energy and community engagement.

Resistance to large scale solar and wind installations and grid expansion is often based on concerns for wildlife,

scenic vistas and sacred sites. It also reflects a preference for fewer large scale utility projects and more distributed generation which benefits individuals and communities.

In a recent article, Tim Watkins expressed concern that e�orts to force modern society o� of fossil fuels before adequate alternatives are in place is a recipe for financial disaster. He reminds us that the modern economy remains dependent on oil for our life support system and all goods and services available to us. If sufficient energy supplies, particularly oil, are not available in an adequate amount, economic stress will follow and produce political repercussions.

The rate at which a transition to cleaner energy sources occurs is subject to the uncertainties of global political decisions. Since incentives are in place in the United States encouraging energy e� ciency and renewable energy, individuals and communities have an opportunity to reduce their own energy uncertainties by taking advantage of existing incentives.
