NIDIA: Good morning, I am Nidia, who will be accompanying you in the development of this newscast.
KAREN: Good morning. Today is Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Welcome to the news, Karen greets you.
NIDIA: We begin with the news that has captured attention in recent days. An important vote for the climate. Local officials from across the country will have the opportunity to vote on new energy efficiency standards for buildings. But few tend to vote, which could jeopardize the outcome.
KAREN: One of the great achievements of politics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the spread of effective building codes that made our buildings safer and more resistant, and cities less likely to catch fire. It requires that the average building built today have better windows and insulation than the old buildings with drafts, so that a new building wastes less energy during its lifetime.
JULIO BARRERA: This is Karen. Making buildings more efficient not only saves consumers money, it is also crucial in the fight against global warming, since it reduces the use of fossil fuels.
NIDIA: We are a few months away from an election, but the forces are already moving so that this vote goes the wrong way. If history repeats itself this year, the energy policy of the United States may be influenced by less than 500 people.
JULIO BARRERA: We hope that the best decision was made, for the future of all, to improve the care of the environment and reduce pollution.
