Solar Energy

The county's Climate Change Action Plan lays out a number of recommendations for addressing climate change. The county seeks to reduce greenhouse gasses by fifty percent by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050 (p.52). Several objectives are outlined in the county's plan that address solar energy. Objective 103 seeks to expand renewable energy by promoting solar adoption through financing, permitting incentives, local partnerships, and support for the Solar Co-op program. Another objective suggested in this plan recommends the exploration of innovative solar practices such as utilization of unconventional spaces like landfills (Objective 111).
