Program Details
City of Bellingham's commitment to make a difference regarding "climate change" has grown substantially over the years, since former mayor Kelli Linville served. Many of us have heard that the city recently adopted a plan promoting (and in some cases requiring) the private sector's 'shift to electric' to end the use of fossil-fuels for heating systems, appliances, and even vehicles over time. BIAWC has been following this issue closely as it must regarding changes to building codes. Rob has been communicating with the various energy providers who must anticipate shifts in demand. This is a very important issue to learn about, so don't miss this informative program. Bring a guest, bring questions. Visit the City's "switch" page ahead by clicking here.
