III. City of Ann Arbor: Sustainable Energy Utility
As folks may know, Common Cycle is among the city's A2Zero community partners, what with bicycles, waste-diversion, and carbons, etc.. As such, please consider yourself bothered about something not related to bicycles and working on them - the city is currently seeking feedback about the prospect of municipalizing energy generation via a Sustainable Energy Utility.
Details are in the attached image; if you'd like more info or to share feedback with the City, please navigate to www.a2gov.org/a2seu via your preferred internet-connected device.
Cheers,
Ian O.

Regarding that SEU proposal: those interested will also probably be interested in Ann Arbor for Public Power (A2P2), which is pursuing full municipalization of the grid that DTE operates within Ann Arbor. It's rather interesting to me that the SEU proposal, which sees itself as an additional or supplemental utility to the DTE grid, didn't exist until A2P2 had done a lot of organizing and advocacy for full municipalization.
Please reply directly to me and not the whole email list if you're interested in having a discussion about this-I don't want to clog up people's inboxes with too many messages that aren't directly related to CC!
