Will Somerville be a Leader? Forget the lobbyist infested Federal Govt... Will we start our own Green New Deal at the local level? Or, will we continue to contribute to climate change, death, and more pollution?
Post Body

This is what leadership looks like:

""Late Wednesday night, the city of Ithaca, N.Y., voted to electrify and decarbonize its buildings. It’s the first such initiative of its kind in the country.

“We are being very aggressive,” said Luis Aguirre-Torres, Ithaca’s director of sustainability. “I’m very excited but, at the same time, it’s a lot of work ahead.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solutions/2021/11/03/ithaca-new-york-decarbonize-electrify/

Edit: this too Des Moines, Iowa commits to 24/7 clean electricity 100% by 2035...

"Des Moines, Iowa recently joined the over 100 U.S. communities with a 100% clean electricity commitment by 2035. In other words, the city’s goal means they want renewable electricity to be supplied 24/7, . Des Moines City Council Member Josh Mandelbaum and 1000 Friends of Iowa Executive Director Kari Carney joined me in October, 2021 to discuss the city’s new commitment, how MidAmerican Energy’s six coal plants present a potential roadblock, and how they’re pulling the ideas from cities across Iowa to advance their goal. I’m John Farrell, Director of the Energy Democracy Initiative at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and this is a Voices of 100% episode of Local Energy Rules, a biweekly podcast sharing powerful stories about local, renewable energy. Josh and Kari, welcome to the program." https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/policy-regulation/des-moines-iowa-commits-to-24-7-clean-electricity/
