OUC tour at next SC3 meeting
Space Coast Clean Cities Coalition next
meeting will not be at FSEC, but will be at OUC Stanton
Power Plant Complex in Orlando. If you have not seen
the plant, here is your opportunity. Each year, we
conduct at least one of our meeting at a new location
for a special event or tour of interest to our members.
The June 30 regular meeting will be at
a new time, 10:30 am, in order to complete regular
business and a tour of the power plant. The meeting
agenda is on our calender of event. The plant is located
in east Orlando south of SR-508 East/West Expressway
at 5100 South Alafaya Trail. For security reasons,
attendees must notify Bill Young, SC3 Coordinator,
to be placed on a list for check-in at the power plant
guard station.

Sierra Club Launches Hybrid Evolution Campaign
At a time when gas prices are
hitting record highs, U.S. oil dependence is increasing,
and global warming is heating up, the Sierra Club
has launched a new campaign to take clean cars and
responsible energy solutions to communities around
the country. On Memorial Day, the Sierra Club kicked
off its new Hybrid Evolution Campaign which encourages
Americans to demand clean cars and clean energy. "We're driving hybrids
from town to town to tell people that hybrid cars and
renewable energy are a reality. We'll invite people
to get behind the wheel and kick the tires." "We
call it 'hybrid evolution' because evolution means
getting better," said Brendan Bell, Associate
Washington Representative for the Sierra Club's Global
Warming program. "We have the technology today
to clean up
our air and curb global warming.”
The campaign will drive hybrid vehicles along three
routes: Key West to Portland, ME,
Chicago to Los Angeles, and Seattle to San Diego. One
of the stops is at the Florida Solar Energy Center.
The rallies gives Americans the chance to test drive
hybrid vehicles, learn about renewable energy. The
campaign website - iwillevolve.org -
creates
an online community to link the campaign activities
around the country. The website
features regular updates and photos from the road tours,
ad images, tour
dates, and facts on evolved energy solutions.
As always, check our web page calender monthly
for the latest events.
