Community and Off Site Solar Meeting 6/26/17

| June 30, 2017 | No comments

Community solar
We are so proud to announce our
Together We Shine: Community Solar Campaign Launch Event

No sun? No roof? No Rebates?… No Problem!!

Can we build a community solar project?
Can we put together people who couldn’t otherwise get solar, with their own solar panels somewhere else? We’re going to find out and do it!

In light of inaction to address climate change, and with the local change to off shore wind 7-10 years away, all of us must act together now to displace fossil fuels’ pollution, clean our communities, and spearhead the coming renewable energy economy that benefits everyone.

LIPA and PSEG Integrated Resource Plan Public Meetings June 21 and 22, 2017

| June 17, 2017 | No comments

LIPA and PSEG are poised to go with renewables and not build the 5 billion dollars in new shale gas power plants that were proposed… this is pretty huge!

This week’s hearings are crucial! We would love to have you come down Wednesday June 21 or Thursday June 22 for the LIPA and PSEG “Integrated Resource Plan” (IRP), public hearings on the next decade of our electricity system. Our future needs you there!
We need as many people as possible at the 6/21 1PM hearing in Smithtown, where the media will be. We are also focusing on the 6/22 evening session in Mineola (Details on all is Below)

Here is our quote for the press release:
“As a triumph in the fight against climate change and a bold move to economic and efficient renewables, we applaud the Integrated Resource Plan” said George Povall, Director of All Our Energy. “Saving billions of dollars in unnecessary fossil fuel plants, and avoiding their pollution is just smart, and LIPA should invest now in even more cost conscious, climate saving off shore wind to make that a reality.”

Point Lookout Wind Turbine Visit June 10, 2017

visit

It aint godzilla, it’s the Point Lookout wind turbine….

After we went to the LIPA Board of Trustees to push for off shore wind with our allies, some of our volunteers visited the Town Of Hempstead Energy Park, to check out their 156 ft tall, 100kw wind turbine that makes enough power for 80  homes, plus their 100kw solar farm and their hydrogen energy storage system.  What an interesting day, thanks to Tara Schneider-Moran at Town of Hempstead. We will be keeping in touch and will return again.
