Marin Clean Energy Launches Public Education Phase in Drive to Create Green Power Agency

My most recent project is working on Marin Clean Energy, the effort to set up a green, renewable power agency in Marin County to replace PG&E.

In attendance at the press conference for the kickoff the public education campaign were Supervisors Charles McGlashan and Hal Brown, MMWD Board President Larry Russell, and Sausalito City Councilmember Jonathan Leone.

As the Marin Independent Journal reported, "the plan to create Marin Clean Energy, a power alternative to Pacific Gas and Electric Co., could make Marin the first county in the state to cut greenhouse gases by 15 percent, said Marin Supervisor Charles McGlashan." read more

The S.F. Chronicle also reported that Marin Clean Energy "would pool the energy needs of all residents and businesses, allowing a local board to negotiate not only for energy rates but energy sources." read more
