Subject: Support for a Resolution to join the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority
Honorable Mayor Spector, Vice Mayor Sayoc, Councilmembers Jensen, Leonardis and
Rennie,
We urge you to vote YES to join the Silicon Valley Clean Energy Authority (SVCEA)
when it comes before the Los Gatos Town Council on February 2nd.
Carbon Free Mountain View is a local advocacy group that supports Community Choice
Energy throughout Santa Clara County. Multiple studies have shown CCE to be by far
the most cost-effective action a city can take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
from residents and businesses. The feasibility and technical studies conducted by the
Silicon Valley Community Choice Energy Partnership indicate that the benefits of CCE
are huge and the risks to participating jurisdictions are low.
World leaders committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions at the national level in
Paris last month. Now you have the opportunity to demonstrate Los Gatos' commitment
to addressing the climate crisis locally. We urge you to follow the lead of Cupertino,
Sunnyvale, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Saratoga and Los Altos Hills, all of which have
voted unanimously to join the program. Please vote yes to join the Silicon Valley Clean
Energy Authority and establish a Community Choice Energy program.
Sincerely,
Carbon Free Mountain View Board of Directors:
• Bruce Kamey (President)
• Cherie Walkowiak (Co-founder, Communications director)
• John Scarboro (Co-founder, Treasurer)
• Mike Balma (Secretary)
• Jan Butts
• Gary Latshaw
• Brian Schmidt
