What's Hot?

  • Wednesday, August 23rd, 7:00-8:30 PM: Community Choice Aggregation event.
    Related to our in-progress CAPs, one of the actions preliminarily being included for reducing the City’s GHGs in a substantial way in the long term is Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, and how a City can use CCA to source clean, renewable energy for the community, while also creating local jobs, here are details about a CCA event next week. Both Marin and Sonoma counties already have successful CCA programs up and running.
    Carbon Free Mountain View (CFMV) is a group of citizens whose goal is to transition Mountain View's electricity supply to be carbon-free by 2020. CFMV believes that CCA is Mountain View's best chance at meeting the City’s long-term carbon reduction goals. 
    The City Council voted in April to allocate funds in the 2014-2015 budget to study the feasibility of CCA in partnership with Sunnyvale.
    You are invited you to come learn about CCA next Wednesday, July 23, in Sunnyvale, 7-8:30pm. The event is co-sponsored by Sunnyvale Cool and Carbon Free Mountain View.
    Location:
    Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum
    570 E Remington Dr.
    Sunnyvale, CA 94087

    From event coordinators: "Come experience a protected bikeway!  Safe Mountain View is teaming up with Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition members in Mountain View and local groups Great Streets Mountain View and Safe Moves to demonstrate a protected bikeway at the next Thursday Night Live event in Mountain View.  They are calling it “Cycletopia” because they believe cycling would be utopic if this type of bike lane were prevalent in our streets.  Ride on over and check it out!"
