As we do the Climate assessment, planning, and implementation for our own city, I'm wondering if there are ways that
we can help other cities, and our state, and other states, and the Federal government, and the general public, choose
to give more appropriate kinds of attention, energy, resources, and action to Climate Change.

Focus on a few big bang for the buck projects (bus, energy pricing, building codes) and leave all the little stuff for other
groups to push.

I'd like to get the full picture of what it would take to install renewables at scale here.
also what the real costs would
be... the actual benefits when all resources and costs are factored in.

Common sense and gradual implementation.
Americans tend to over-react and over legislate.

1) I have spoken with many people who simply could not make it to the 1st public forum.
They are very interested in
having an opportunity to review material and give their input, just as those who were at the event had an opportunity to
do so.
After each open house we should post a replica of what went on at each open house for a period of time after
the public event (including video and ppts of speakers).
A website should contain all of the material and a link to a
survey for each of the questions brought before the public during the open house and allow others who were unable to
attend the meeting to give their input as well.
2) Speakers at the public meetings should have a more dynamic
interaction with the audience.
Some speakers at the first public meeting presented data in a very dry and possibly
overwhelming way.
We need lively, engaging speakers when presenting material and data.

Making a plan is only a first (tiny) step...
Then you need to provide funding to support implementation including
staffing, public education, compliance, etc.

Use shorter term targets. 50 years is coming from denial. We are in crisis now. Though most do not know it yet. Be a
committee that recommends action and ordinance, not just study, study, study.
