To the Editor,
The recent actions of Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and the Vermont Republican Party (VTGOP) reveal a concerning inconsistency. AFP, founded by the Koch brothers and a mouthpiece for big oil, is campaigning to repeal Vermont’s Act 18 of 2024, the Clean Heat Standard, citing concerns that it will “increase the cost of living,” “make it more expensive to heat your home,” and “make Vermont less competitive with our neighbors.” However, these claims overlook a critical fact: Act 18 is not actually being implemented.
