Join Philly PA IPL for our Monthly Chapter Meeting taking place on Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00pm!

Can PGW Accelerate Philadelphia's Clean Energy Transition?

In order to avoid ever worsening effects of climate change, the UN’s IPCC says we must cut in half our use of fossil fuels by 2030 and eliminate them entirely by 2050. What can and should be PGW’s response to this requirement? How do we wean Philadelphia from its natural gas addiction?

The discussion leader at our April PA IPL Philadelphia Chapter meeting will be Mitch Chanin. Mitch is a long time Philadelphia climate activist. He was a leader in the opposition to SEPTA developing a gas-fired electric generating station in the Nicetown section of Philadelphia. Mitch is the co-chair of the Climate Justice Caucus at Reclaim Philadelphia and is also a member of Philly Thrive and Philly DSA. As a volunteer with POWER Interfaith, Mitch is a member of the PGW Just Transition campaign team and has presented testimony to the Philadelphia Gas Commission. We will be talking about the work that has gone on in this area and about the pros and cons of different options for reducing Philadelphia’s reliance on natural gas and encouraging the use of clean, renewable energy. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00pm via Zoom. If you can't attend but would like to get a recording, please register and we will eventually get you the recording or at least the Chat list of recommended reading.
