Subject: NH Climate Change Action Plan Presentation in Sandonw 9/29

How much energy is NH using?   Where is it going?   How can we reduce the State's energy consumption?   How has NH's climate changed?   What is the cost of that change?   What can we do?

Presentation on NH Climate Change Action Plan Tuesday 9/29/09 7:00 PM Sandown Town Hall "Here in New Hampshire, we ship in nearly 90% of all energy sources that drive our economy. We use these resources to generate electricity, heat our homes and businesses, and power our vehicles. Due to this reliance on external energy sources, New Hampshire is particularly vulnerable to fluctuations in the global energy markets. Our state is also heavily reliant on our rich natural resources to sustain our economy. These critical forest lands, rivers and lakes, and coastal areas are threatened by the current and future effects of climate change. As a result, there is real and growing concern within New Hampshire regarding the significant detrimental effects that our current pattern of energy use and a changing climate could have on our local economy and on the quality of our lives.   The NH Climate Change Action Plan, submitted to Governor Lynch in March 2009, presents a chance to address both of these vulnerabilities while creating new opportunities to grow the New Hampshire economy. Come hear Chris Skoglund, an Energy and Transportation Analyst with the NH Dept. of Environmental Services provide an overview of this Plan, which represents the thinking and recommendations of one of the largest, most diverse collections of leading New Hampshire citizens in many years." Learn What the State of New Hampshire is Doing to Reduce Energy Consumption and in protecting our Natural Resources Have questions this is a chance to ask them. This presentation is being sponsored by the Rockingham Planning Commission and hosted by the Sandown Conservation Commission. Please contact the Sandown Conservation Commission at information@sandowncc.org or (603) 887-5589 with any questions.

Master Plan Chapter Review

Hi All,
 
Sorry I didn't get this out last night.  Conservation ran until 10 and I totally forgot when I got home.  Please feel free to add comments however you feel comfortable.  I turned on the track changes, so you can delete, add, reformat, etc. and we can still see old and new.  Feel free to add comments, etc.  If your suggestions are more general in nature.  Maybe send out an email note. 
 
Michael M. and Michael J. - we agreed to read the draft and get changes back to me by Thursday.  We'll then send that copy out to the Planning Board for them to read.  I will ask to be put on their workshop schedule for the first Wednesday in October where we can make revisions as needed, etc.  We're also planning a talk at the library or community center (looking for a catchy title - help!) on saving energy at home.  Jim is going to talk to potential speakers today. 
 
Looking forward to your suggestions on the draft ...
 
Michelle

FW: Energy Workshop

Jim and Mike,
 
Just wanted to share this feedback!  I'm assuming we will still meet, as scheduled on September 14th at 7pm.  Does this work for everyone?  I will have the CA-CP grant request prepared and we should start reviewing the Master Plan to prepare for meeting with the Planning Board.
 
Michelle

Updated Version of Atkinson Energy Report

Hi All,
 
Due to the way this document was set up, I still found data calculation inconsistencies, so I am sending along an updated version for tonight.  We may continue to find things that we want to change - this is a living document, hopefully.  It should give us a great place to start our discussions on energy efficiency and conservation tonight.
 
See you all at 7.
 
Michelle
 
P.S.  I will bring copies for all department heads and others.
