The Clean Energy Team is a grassroots group of Keene residents, businesses, and leaders from education, faith, nonprofit and other sectors who are working to make energy efficiency and renewable energy options accessible for residents and businesses.
Our Mission: Visibility and Education
- Visibility: Raising local awareness of the importance of clean energy to our common future.
- Education: Helping to strengthen the community’s understanding of these issues, including the city’s plan and how to be “part of the solution”.
- Since then, the city has developed a plan to meet our goals through a transparent and inclusive stakeholder process.
It will take all of us to achieve a 100% renewable energy future. Your ideas, expertise, insights, hands-on and moral support are needed and welcome!
Recent Actions
- The Clean Energy Team was instrumental in supporting the City of Keene’s Energy and Climate Committee as they successfully pushed for a sustainability planner position to be approved. Having staff to focus on clean energy initiatives is the key to success.
- We are starting a campaign advocating for our NH Attorney General to join a class action suit against Big Oil.
- Five of the six New England states are currently suing Big Oil for climate fraud, and New Hampshire is the only one that isn’t.
- We need to put pressure on NH Attorney General Formella, and on Governor Ayotte!
- We are starting a messaging campaign to make climate a key issue in the midterms – harnessing the anger at the corruption and inaction we learned about at June’s Climate Cafe. Postcards, yard signs, radio interviews, articles, public service announcements, protests, group visit to the AG, are all actions we will be dicussing at our July 19 meeting.
Join us! We meet monthly at the Keene Public Library
