Say NO to Government Electricity (CCA)Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) is a bad choice for residents and consumers. Government can't offer cheaper, more reliable electricity because of mandated renewable energy cost too much. Solar and wind, are subsidized by tax dollars; once they dry up, the cost of electricity goes up.
It is impossible for a city to become "Carbon-Neutral" through the
use of subsidized renewable energy.
Cleaner Energy, Lower Cost: Why Community ChoiceFor more information: Ann Hancock, ann@biz4cleanenergy.com
What is Community Choice energy? Find out about this local program that buys and generates electricity for businesses and residents. MCE Clean Energy was the first Community Choice program in California, and Sonoma Clean Power was the second. Learn from the leaders of these programs about their success delivering cleaner power at lower rates. For more information: Ann Hancock, ann@biz4cleanenergy.com

What Is a CCA – Community Choice Energy Aggregation?Animation brought to you by California Clean Power. CAcleanpower.com/whatiscca/
Community Choice, sometimes called CCA or Community Choice Energy, returns your community’s right to purchase your own energy supply, leading to cleaner choices, cheaper power, and greater energy investment and innovation.
With the old setup, the private monopoly utility does everything for you, from buying power from energy producers, to fixing the lines, to billing customers, and you pay pretty much whatever you’re told to pay.
The new model changes just one part of that formula – your community buys the power, right from energy producers. You still pay the utility to do the rest, uninterrupted. This change is possible when your town, city or county starts a CCA program.
That’s community choice energy.
Why is this a big deal? Because every day, communities send a lot of money to monopoly utilities, to buy energy for as low a price as they can, and then mark it up as high as they can to maximize profits, making themselves and their stockholders richer, with minimal environmental or local benefit.
That’s how monopolies work – you have no choice.
But CCA gives you choice. Because your CCA doesn’t need extra profit to pay shareholders, the energy your CCA buys is almost always cheaper, which means that even a small community can bring in millions of dollars a year. This opens up a world of new possibilities.
Your community can use that savings to choose renewable energy – 33%, 50%, up to 100%!
This drives clean energy production, nation-wide. Sources may be right in your neighborhood. Some options will be truly greenhouse-gas free.
You can get lower electricity rates too, for both homes and businesses.
And if you start your own CCA, you can go even bigger; you can fund municipal projects, like building local renewable energy infrastructure, right in your backyard.
Just by taking this one step – buying your own power – your community gets more economic and environmental benefit than many other time-consuming and costly programs combined, bringing in millions of dollars that would have otherwise gone out to the utility, reducing your greenhouse gas emissions, and bringing local control back to your community.
Imagine if everyone with the monopoly utility started a CCA...

What is Community Choice Aggregation?This video reviews the basic details of what Community Choice Aggregation is and the benefits it can provide to a community
Community Choice AggregationSustainability planner Dawn Weisz explains the concept of Community Choice Aggregation
PLAN Hermosa: General Plan to Carbon Neutral PlanOn January 25, 2016 the city's de facto Energy Czar addressed a Joint Commission Study Session, and explains that $410k grant was used to hijack the General Plan to transform "The Best Little Beach City" into a Carbon Neutral Commune Utopia.
The General Plan for the City of Hermosa Beach, PLAN Hermosa, is really a Carbon Neutral Plan.
The mentioned Brendel Group report is pure fiction. It would only be applicable in a communist utopia or Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
Hermosa Beach City Manager - Carbon Neutrality is a serviceHermosa Beach City Manager justifies irrational financial spending for the City to claim municipal "Carbon Neutrality" by 2020. Further stating Carbon Neutrality is a service as Police Services and Fire Services. On 02-24-15, City Council approved 4-1 to participate in the political activism of Carbon Neutrality.
Local Power: Where is the Political Will? - Sane SocietyLocal Power Inc. helps communities profoundly improve their energy systems. In the past two decades, the founders created a whole new energy market — municipal aggregations, or "Community Choice Aggregations," in markets comprising 25% of U.S. power demand. Today over five percent of the U.S. population is served by CCAs - over 1000 U.S. municipalities, ranging from towns as small as pop. 50 to major cities like Chicago, Cincinatti and San Francisco,
Building on CCA, Local Power Inc. developed numerous strategies across multiple regulatory systems to offer American cities and towns a new alternative to monopoly power service and deregulation—a community-based energy service focused on changing the whole community's energy system in technology profile and ownership structure - first a switch to new local renewable technologies; second, a whole new utility service option that invites residents and businesses to "Own Your Power."
Paul Fenn: Origins of Community Choice Aggregation - Sane SocietyPaul Fenn, founder and President of Local Power, speaks about the philosophical impetus for writing the first Community Choice Aggregation legislation. CCA began in Massachusetts and has now spread to California, Colorado, Illinois, and other states.
Paul Fenn: Local Power - Sane SocietyLocal Power offers the necessary policy framework, financial vehicles, and implementation approach—based on bottom-up analysis—to build out as much distributed renewable generation and efficiency as possible in a given region.
Paul Fenn holds a 1992 Master's Degree from University of Chicago, where he was awarded a PhD fellowship in Intellectual History. Before that, Fenn was Dean's Fellow at Manhattan's New School for Social Research in 1989-90 in the Philosophy PhD program.
