Earth Day Event: Come to City Hall to cheer as council passes the energy plan!

Time to clap your hands and say yeah!

The Austin Energy Resource and Climate Protection Plan (aka, the generation plan) is poised to pass on Thursday--Earth Day. We want to fill council chamber with supporters!

It has been a long time in coming. After almost two years of public input, this forward-thinking and adaptable energy plan, with lots of wind, solar, and energy efficiency, is up for a vote in the morning.

Wear green, put on a Clean Energy for Austin sticker, and cheer when Council passes it!

When: 10 AM

Where: Austin City Hall, 301 W 2nd St

Endorse Clean Energy for Austin

Attention: Green businesses and Austinites!

If you were as frustrated as I was watching world leaders dither in Copenhagen while the Earth heats up and island nations continue making evacuation plans, there is good news on the horizon for Austin.

Austin Energy has developed a consensus plan that would establish our own CO2 cap and reduction plan. The great news is that by 2020, Austin's investments in solar, wind and energy efficiency would allow us to reduce our dependence on the Fayette coal plant by 30 percent! This energy plan will also bring a wide variety of jobs to the city, from innovative clean technology companies to installation, retrofit and construction jobs.

We need support to pass the plan now!
