The wonderful Boulder County Government just can’t quit coming up with ways to save the world and micromanage their domain. What a bunch of busybodies.
I’m not against reducing GHG (that would be Green House Gases) or alternative energy, but there are way too many people trying to play “bureaucrat” and “save the world” when there hasn’t been any warming in 10 years!
Also, there are many different types of technologies being developed, and guess what, the Boulder County busy bodies have very little to do with it. And people will start using them with or without their existence.
Highlights (or is it lowlights?)…
35 broad strategies…
The Boulder County Consortium of Cities (BCCC) Sustainable Energy Plan includes 35 broad strategies that county entities and/or individuals can use to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
and the significance of the cuts will depend on the amount of funding! Imagine that. Note to myself, continue to vote against all Boulder County tax increases. There’s a beast that needs to be starved.
Just how significant the GHG reductions will be will depend on commitments to action and funding, but a passage from the plan says the county could reduce its emissions 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 if the plan strategies are fully implemented.
Let’s have a cermony, attended by important people. Yippee, all the busybodies can feel good together.
The county will hold a ceremony to formally release the plan Thursday, April 24 at 4 p.m. in the Boulder County Courthouse, 1325 Pearl St. in Boulder. Visiting officials will include former state Rep. Tom Plant, now the Director of the Governor’s Energy Office, and Heidi Van Genderen, Climate Change Advisor for Gov. Bill Ritter.
