In a desire to be cautious, the organizers of this event have decided to reschedule for later in the Spring.

In January of 2016, the Sierra Club launched a nation-wide campaign called Ready for 100. The goal of the Ready for 100 campaign is to accelerate an equitable transition to 100% renewable energy by advocating for ambitious leadership at the local level.

We now know that it is both technologically and economically feasible to make the transition to 100% renewable energy. Professor Mark Jacobson, from Stanford University, has published research focused on the feasibility of this transition. What we’re missing is political will– and that’s why this campaign is so important.

Nation-wide, grassroots movements are influencing cities, regions, and states to commit to 100% of their energy coming from renewable sources for all three sectors by 2050 and for the electric grid by 2030.

There are already many cities in the U.S. that have committed to 100% renewable energy. The Sierra Club released a report highlighting ten cities that have already made the transition to 100% renewable energy, and how they accomplished it.

The goals for this gathering are to:

• share recent progress made on clean energy in other parts of the county

• describe exciting possibility of working at the local government and school district level

• highlight the benefits of moving to clean energy

• highlight why we are an important part of the solution living in PA

• inspire local people to organize an effort in their community to support a clean energy resolution
