 Fayette Power PlantAs our members and supporters know, we played a key role in developing a 10-year clean energy plan for Austin that was approved last December by the previous City Council on a 6-1 vote (only outgoing Mayor Lee Leffingwell opposed it). After a packed year of work with our partners in the Austin environmental community – Public Citizen, Climate Buddies, SEED Coalition, Solar Austin, Austin Interfaith, the Faith, Energy, and Action Team, Environment Texas, the Austin Climate Action Network, and the Texas Drought Project – we made strategic decisions that we believe accomplish the goals of setting Austin on an affordable pathway to addressing these critical issues and does so in a way that puts Austinites in a very strong position to advocate for even stronger climate policies in 2015 and beyond.
