North County Climate Change Alliance: Our Changing Climate Series - Renewable Energy Opportunities
2021-11-11 19:30 (America/Chicago) | Virtual Event
North County Climate Change Alliance (NCCCA)
Our Changing Climate Series – Renewable Energy Opportunities
Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 pm Central
Solar power is by far the cheapest source of electricity available these days, beating coal, natural gas, and nuclear in your checkbook. But if the solar power is placed far away from the end user, these low prices are dwarfed by transmission costs and grid losses. Far away no longer makes sense. So, what are the solutions?
Please join us to hear about a prospective North County renewable energy project at Markel Reservoir, Carlsbad and as well as other nearby projects. While these projects are located here in San Diego County the approach could be used worldwide!
While the private sector brings significant technical skills, there needs to be a public-private partnership to expedite these projects. Learn how we can be a part of the team to promote this collaboration, to save money, create jobs, advance the use of renewable energy, and mitigate the climate crisis!
Local CCAs (Community Choice Aggregation, aka Community Choice Energy) such as the Clean Energy Alliance are in a position to bring hundreds of millions of dollars into their cities, with local jobs, local energy resiliency, lower energy prices, and additional city revenue. This is true community power!
We will also hear from Dave Rosenfeld, who is the Executive Director of the Solar Rights Alliance. He will update us on the current efforts underway to save rooftop solar.
(PG&E, So Cal Edison, and San Diego Gas & Electric are lobbying the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to make consumer solar twice as expensive than it is today. The CPUC is expected to make a decision by the end of this year. If you were following the now-defeated AB 1139, the CPUC is where this issue will get settled.)
Please register in advance for this Zoom meeting.
There is no charge for this online event but you must register in advance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Copies of all documents can be found here: https://www.noaa.gov/legislative-and-intergovernmental-affairs/noaa-tribal-resources-updates
NOAA requests your input on revisions to the following existing NOAA policies and guidance documents, which facilitate NOAA’s implementation of E.O. 13175: (1) NOAA Procedures for Government-to-Government Consultation With Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations (Draft Handbook); (2) NOAA Administrative Order 218-8, Policy on Government-to-Government Consultation with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations (see last page of Draft Handbook); and (3) a traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) guidance currently titled NOAA Fisheries and National Ocean Service Guidance and Best Practices for Engaging and Incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Decision-Making.
The Draft Handbook and NOAA Administrative Order revisions are intended to update and formalize the productive practices and procedures NOAA has developed throughout its years of working with tribal governments, American Indians, and Native Alaskans. These proposed updates are intended to further strengthen NOAA’s relationships with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and improve the Agency’s consultation procedures.
NOAA plans to update and apply the TEK guidance to all NOAA offices, and is interested in input regarding any updates or revisions to strengthen this guidance. TEK has the potential to inform and enrich many aspects of NOAA’s work, allowing us to better understand earth and ocean systems and fulfill our management responsibilities. The TEK Guidance has not been previously made available for tribal or public comment.
NOAA understands the importance of long-standing policies relating to government-to-government relations with tribal governments. In January 2021, President Biden issued a Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening the Nation-to-Nation Relationships that requires all federal departments and agencies to submit a plan for implementing Executive Order 13175. Executive Order 13175 charges federal departments and agencies to engage in regular, meaningful, and robust consultation with Tribal officials in the development of federal policies that have Tribal implications. The revisions to these policy and guidance documents respond to those Administration requirements.
The Federal Register notice for this request was published on November 24, 2021, and can be found at www.Regulations.gov.

“Bounty” Live World Premiere
2021-11-10 18:00 - 19:30
November 10 at 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM CST
We are citizens of the Penobscot Nation. For this film, we bring our families to Boston to read our ancestors’ death warrant. This abhorrent proclamation, made in 1755 by the colonial government, paid settlers handsomely to murder Penobscot people. It declared our people enemies and offered different prices for the scalps of children, women, and men. Bounty proclamations like this, some even paid in stolen land, persisted for more than two centuries across what is now the United States.
The memory of being hunted is in our blood. We know this to be true, and the science now affirms that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. In “Bounty” we take control of this process by inviting our children into the colonizer’s hall of injustice, to read their hateful words and tell the truth about what was done to our ancestors. We exercise our power by sharing the horrors of this hard history as an act of resistance, remembrance, and a step toward justice.
Join Penobscot Nation Tribal Ambassador Maulian Dana, film participant Dawn Neptune Adams (Penobscot), and filmmaker and Upstander Project director Adam Mazo for a conversation after the film.

Meeting ID: 161 045 0061
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced a new emergency temporary standard to protect more than 84 million workers from the spread of the coronavirus on the job. The nation’s unvaccinated workers face grave danger from workplace exposure to coronavirus, and immediate action is necessary to protect them. Under this standard, covered employers must develop, implement and enforce a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy, unless they adopt a policy requiring employees to choose to either be vaccinated or undergo regular COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work.
OSHA is offering robust compliance assistance to help businesses implement the standard, which can be found at this landing page.
Please RSVP to Lujan.Theresa@dol.gov if you plan to attend at 3pm ET. This briefing is intended for tribal leaders and staff. You will have the opportunity to ask policy questions by stating in the zoom chat function that you would like to ask a question, but please do not raise casework or specific business or individual questions in the briefing, in the interest of time. Attendees are encouraged to review the guidance found in links ahead of the briefing.
