To the editor:

The William Street United Methodist Church hosted a discussion event with three panelists who explained the variety of climate change consequences on the people of Ohio (“Changing climate might take buckeyes out of Ohio,” March 12). Rich Bradley spoke about the health effect of climate change. We know what we must do to avert climate catastrophe: Clean up power plants — the largest sources of carbon pollution — and power our country with 100 percent renewable energy.

Delaware’s next step should include strengthening the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to reduce regional power plant pollution by more than half in the next 15 years.
