Boulder is at a critical juncture!! We can lock ourselves into another 20-year contract with Xcel Energy – with more fossil fuels and ever-increasing rates – or we can chart a new future based on local and renewable energy.

The Valmont power plant

The Boulder City Council is meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3, to decide on our energy future. Come let the City Council and Xcel Energy know that you are ready for renewables!

When and where: Tuesday, August 3, 4:45 p.m, corner of Broadway and Canyon.

Rally at 4:45, sign up to testify in front of Council at 5 p.m. (if you would like), join the Council meeting at 6 p.m. T-shirts and some signs will be provided for use during the event, but please feel free to bring your own.

Spread the word! Bring friends and family! For more information on the 20-year franchise agreement with Xcel and alternative paths forward, see: http://www.cleanenergyaction.org/boulders-clean-energy-future
