City Light wants to know what we think about renewable energy

It says "Seattle" City Light, but everyone in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park gets their electricity from Seattle.

Now the utility is doing long-range planning and wants to know what we think about the many options available for renewable energy - like wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass.

They have set up an on-line forum and really do want as many people as possible to participate. We have been specifically invited to participate.

Here's the website: Community Energy Forum

And here's the info from City Light:

Seattle City Light customers enjoy some of the cleanest energy in the country, with nearly 90% of our electricity supplied by clean, renewable hydropower.  But what about new renewable energy resources, like wind, solar, biomass and geothermal? And what about locally grown clean energy? All of these options have potential in Seattle. As energy users we all have a responsibility to think about these issues, and support what is best for our environment, our economy and the future generations to come. 

Seattle City Light invites you to share your ideas and opinions by joining the Community Energy Forum, a monthly online survey for customers of the Utility. Enrolling in the Forum ensures your voice will be heard on a variety of energy issues, including future renewable energy efforts.
