SLO Climate Coalition is working toward a vibrant, just, and climate-resilient Central Coast! This tool is called Community Choice Energy.

In August 2012, a group of San Luis Obispo County community leaders made a commitment to form a coalition that can address a growing need for local economic security and energy resilience. These leaders volunteer to provide education and outreach about an important tool that will give our communities the ability to help drive drive local investment toward securing that future. Our commitment to local clean energy for communities within San Luis Obispo County requires us to seek out independent leaders and help empower them towards understanding and implementing a local Community Choice Energy Program. Community Choice Energy is the market-based approach that allows groups of cities and/or counties to pool their electric generation demands and make their own energy purchases. This empowers communities to purchase renewable energy directly from energy providers, build local energy installations, improve energy efficiency, and ensure rate stability on behalf of local residential, business, and municipal ratepayers.

What does Proposition 45 mean for our communities and environment?

Prop 45 proposes changes to California's environmental review process that could affect housing, infrastructure, and environmental oversight.

Supporters believe these changes could help projects move forward more efficiently, while opponents raise concerns about environmental protections and public participation.

Understanding both perspectives is an important part of making an informed decision.

At SLO Climate Coalition, we encourage everyone to stay curious, ask questions, and learn about the issues that shape our communities.

Your voice matters. Your vote matters.

We all have different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas about what makes a community thrive. And that's what makes SLO special.

Whether it's protecting our natural spaces, supporting our neighbors, or creating a better future for the next generation, we all have a connection to this place we call home.

This election season, take time to understand the issues, learn about the candidates, and have conversations with the people around you. You don't have to agree on everything to care about your community.

We love SLO. Let's keep it that way.
