Sierra Sage General Meeting with guest speaker Dr. Kathleen Treseder



As an evolutionary biologist and a professor at UC Irvine Dr. Kathleen
Treseder is a force to be reckoned with. In 2017 she became so concerned
with the climate crisis that she decided research and teaching were not
enough. Dr. Treseder co-founded Orange County Clean Power, a grassroots
organization of over 30 non-profits, businesses, school organizations, and
faith groups. With her leadership they successfully lobbied 5 cities in
Orange County to form the Orange County Power Authority.

OC Power allows cities that have currently been buying energy only from
Southern California Edison to choose their source of power. The cities in
turn give businesses and residential customers the ability to buy power from
clean energy sources.

Dr. Treseder will address the formation of OC Clean Power including the ins
and outs of Energy Choice for cities. How are the energy choice plans paid
for? Is it the same or less expensive than power from only fossil fuel based
power companies? What choices does it allow residential customers? Is having
a choice of energy less harmful to the environment?

Please join Sierra Sage for this timely presentation on Tuesday, July 26,
2022, 7:00 PM, at the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way,
Mission Viejo, CA 92692

Please note this will be a hybrid presentation and will be presented
simultaneously on Zoom as well as in-person. Please RSVP so we can send you
the Zoom link in advance.
