Mayor of Danville CA: make Danville 100% renewable!
Mayor and City Council of Danville: We the undersigned - residents, retailers and local leaders - ask you to take action, so Danville can join over 15 other CA cities that have set the goal or are already 100% renewable, citywide. Meaning, all electricity use, citywide, comes from renewable sources.
Why is this important?
With current gridlock in Congress, and no action on our climate threat, it is becoming clear, that cities and states now hold in their power, a chance to take significant action.
With the global mark of 400 parts per million of atmospheric carbon being passed in May 2013, it is clearly time to accelerate the 100% renewable agenda, at the city level.
With blueprints now being published by Jacobson et al, for states to go 100% renewable, by 2030, cities are appropriate places to start. All 50 state blueprints are available at www.theSolutionsProject.org .
Six states have legislation to create CCAs or Community Choice Aggregation, like Marin and Sonoma counties have, or are setting up, in CA. The 5 other states are IL, MA, OH, NJ and RI.

Creating a CCA enables a city, then its surrounding county, to facilitate more renewables into the market.
