eon3 | Clips from a Clean Energy Activist's Life - Barbara George @eon3 | Uploaded April 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The late public power and renewable energy activist Barbara George - founder of WomensEnergyMaters.org - was an educator, community organizer and public interest intervenor at the California Public Utilities Commission.
Her work helped lay the foundation for the emergence of the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) movement and the formation of Marin Clean Energy (MCE), the pioneering CCA agency in Marin County, in California's San Francisco Bay Area. It also revealed how, in California, utilities are failing to implement available energy efficiency measures and renewable resources that would make nuclear power unnecessary.
This excerpt from a longer video on her life and work was screened at an April, 22, 2016 MCE event dedicating the Barbara George Energy Efficiency Learning Center in her honor.
The video is a co-production of Womens Energy Matters (WEM) and EON - the Ecological Options Network. The filmmakers are Mary Beth Brangan and James Heddle, Barbara's longtime close friends and colleagues who worked with Barbara on related issues for thirty years.
