Supervisor Charles McGlashan will share his community’s experience solving a challenge facing Boulder: How a community can take control of its energy supply. Mr. McGlashan led the Marin County, California effort to adopt Marin Clean Energy. MCE is a joint power authority designed to serve the community’s priorities by providing 78% of consumer energy from “non-polluting renewable sources.” While avoiding coal and nuclear power, Marin Clean Energy allows electric consumers to choose non-polluting renewable energy, foster development of local green power generation, and protect homes and businesses from uncertain fuel prices.
