Benicia City Council considering whether to consider wind power

Plan to attend on Tuesday, December 15, 7pm

On Tuesday, December 15 the city council in Benicia will decide whether to issue a request for proposals for the development of wind power in Benicia.  The requests will include looking at different siting options.

Developing renewable energy at all levels is essential to avoid the worst effects of climate change. We can be part of the solution.  Please come to the meeting at 7 to let the council know that we need to start to develop renewable energy here.  I also believe that the city might make some money on this because they would be leasing the property to the developer.  I need to further check into that, but I wanted you to mark your calendars now.  Even if you can’t come, please email the council your thoughts.
