On February 10-11, the Local Clean Energy Alliance is bringing together clean energy advocates, public officials and green entrepreneurs for the "Clean Power, Healthy Communities" conference at the California Endowment in Oakland (see below).

Despite groundbreaking laws to address global warming, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. In response,  community advocates throughout the Bay Area are advocating local solutions, with a focus on building healthier communities and creating green jobs in our communities. The conference will report on the status of clean energy programs around the Bay, share best practices, bring together clean energy advocates, and explore the potential for more regional collaboration and coordination.
