WIN: Support clean energy
Update:
Success!!! On June 10th, Santa Barbara County’s Board of Supervisors voted to fund a feasibility study for Community Choice Energy. Following Santa Barbara’s lead, Ventura County and San Luis Obispo County (as well as several cities) have since signed to participate in and fund this study. Thanks to the more than 130 people who took action on this alert!
For years, CEC has been leading the push for Santa Barbara County to take advantage of a powerful tool that would offer our communities local control of our energy and a choice for cleaner electricity at competitive rates. Community Choice Energy is the single, most impactful action that we can collectively take in a shift away from fossil fuels towards cleaner energy.
Original Alert:
After years of work, success is within our grasp, but we need your help.
Next Wednesday, June 10, 2015, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors will vote on the remaining budget for this feasibility study. Urge them to vote YES. Sign on to support Community Choice Energy and tell local leaders that you want choice now.
We can have clean energy. You can help.
