Please limit diesel generators
 


Please do not allow more use of diesel generators. And please consider the public health impact of excessive use of diesel generators.  Expanding the use of these highly polluting energy sources, especially in the context of the high density of such generators in a populated area is concerning.  Please only allow the use of these generators for unforeseen emergency only.
