The Intent

The Local 20/20 Energy Action Group (EAG) brings together people interested in energy issues monthly for discussions, presentations and occasional action projects. The EAG supports the Climate Action Plan of the City of Port Townsend/Jefferson County, and the imperative that climate change is impacted by human greenhouse gas emissions.

The EAG is dedicated to finding practical answers to help us locally to conserve energy, save money, enhance our self-reliance and strengthen our community. As an Action Group, we initiate programs and events intended to result in smarter energy use in Jefferson County. Our formal mission is to:

  • Educate people on energy policy, technology and trends through
    Discussing the pros and cons of current national and state energy policies, and
    Rethinking how we power our world today
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Jefferson County by
    Conserving energy in commercial and residential applications, and
    Investing in local renewable energy production
