Two big items today:
First, CWLP will be having its third community energy meeting tonight at 6pm in city council chambers. This is an excellent opportunity to find out what they're doing for energy efficiency; beyond that, though, it's also your chance to tell them what they else they ought to be doing.
Second, today is the last day for comments on CWLP's PURPA standards. If you haven't been following this, these standards could help set Springfield on the path to true energy independence, protect us from the costs of global warming regulation, and lay the foundation for a distributed energy grid. This is all sorts of good. Our resource page is here. CWLP's page on the standards is here. If you check the CWLP page, you'll see they've received six comments so far, all in support of some or all of the CES proposal. Letting CWLP that you support net metering, smart metering, and renewable energy in Springfield can be an enormous help to us and to the city. So drop them an email to let them know. They need to hear it.
