Monday August 11 – Today is the day, so who you gonna call? Peak Busters! We’re taking action today – one of the hottest days in August, to shave the peak and show local utility companies and our regional grid regulator ISO-NE that we don’t need fossil fuel peaker plants – we can replace them …

We’re all worried about what Trump’s election means for the fight against climate change and the next four years. If you’re anything like me or most of our movement, you’ve spent the last two weeks in a sort of daze – trying to make meaning of the moment and see the path forward, together, without …
