In the Climate Action Plan, Council President Todd Gloria helped launch the pledge for San Diego City to be 100% renewable by 2035. It's an achievable goal, but a long way from our current 8% generation. There are many cities who have reached 100% clean energy already. They have accomplished this in several ways and we can learn how they did it.
GENI & SDRES will host Councilman Gloria for an informal dialogue with members and guests about 100% sustainability in the region. The evening will include an overview of San Diego's Climate Action plan, examining what other cities around the nation and globe are doing to achieve this goal, and unveiling the new "100% Renewable San Diego" campaign landing page.
