From James Collins, Community Educator:
Powering Down to Lift California Up
When demand for energy is high as Californians are at home, plugged in, and
using more electricity, clean energy is less available. If we all work
together to move our energy use outside the hours of 4-9pm, we can use
available clean energy sources like wind and sun. Clean energy is a win for
all Californians!
