Watt's next
In case you missed it, be sure to read today's guest editorial in the SJ-R by Greg Claxton about what the future might hold for energy production and conservation in Springfield. One advantage of having a publicly owned utility is that citizens can have a larger role in determining how the utility serves its customers, and the clean energy plan negotiated with the Sierra Club calls for more direct public participation in guiding CWLP's future.
In addition to the editorial, Greg posts interesting ideas on a daily basis over at CESBlog. Buying wind power is a big step forward for Springfield, but I think the Sierra Club agreement opens up the opportunity for CWLP to be an innovator and leader in even more ways.
