We <br /> believe that this potential can be realized if elected officials like you are pro-active about moving <br /> forward with clean energy alternatives on a local scale. <br /> Forming an Alternative Energy Task Force will help to determine the best path toward { <br /> incorporating solar energy and efficiency into Orange County's plans for the future-a path that <br /> will boost local economy, create jobs and increase energy resilience for years to come.NC WARN <br /> appreciates the Commission's consideration of this recommendation. <br /> Sincerely, } <br /> I <br /> Warren <br /> Executive Director,NC WARN <br /> i <br /> 1 !, <br /> i <br /> i <br />
