§ 42-140.5-1. Statement of purpose. 
The purpose of this program is to promote the responsible siting and development of
            renewable energy generating resources in locations where it would be an ancillary
            beneficial use to the redevelopment of previously contaminated property. Greenhouse
            gas emissions pose threats to the health and safety of Rhode Islanders through flooding,
            sea level rise, extreme heat, and increased storm intensity. In order to reduce this
            threat, Rhode Island must promote the deployment of renewable energy generating projects,
            while preserving the most valuable forests.
