Denton’s Energy Future: The Benefits of 100% Renewables

Sunday, November 15, from 2:00-4:00, at the Denton Public Library North Branch, 3020 North Locust: Tom “Smitty” Smith will discuss the economic and environmental advantages of a 100% renewable energy program in Denton.

The current “Renewable Denton” program proposed by Denton Municipal Electric includes the construction, at a cost of at least $225 million, of two auxiliary electricity generating plants using natural gas fueled engines to generate power. There are long-term concerns about the negative economic impacts and air pollution emissions of these facilities. Tom will address those concerns.

Tom is with Public Citizen and has been involved in Austin’s efforts to achieve 100% renewable energy sources
