Clean Energy Revolution Visits Erie
Low income households across Pennsylvania are seeing a significant reduction in energy costs and home safety improvements. That is thanks to the 186 million dollars provided through the weatherization assistance program.
Mayor Schember Joined Clean Energy revolution today to celebrate the climate progress and energy efficiency investments made to help lower energy costs for Americans.
Schember said in the conference today that City of Erie neighborhoods are some of the most under-served and disproportionally attached communities in Erie County.
Schember recognizes that there is a lot more work to be done and stated two points that the city is going to do; the first, an ongoing plan to continue to expand bike paths to provide ways to travel while reducing your carbon footprint.
Along with a new plan to replace five diesel fueled garbage trucks with five new energy efficient trucks. Ali Zaidi and Clean Energy Revolution are going to continue to travel the country with one goal in mind.
"We want to make sure folks know that there are options to lower their energy bill by plugging in to clean energy," Zaidi said. "Making energy efficiency retrofits. That we are making progress as a country, an unprecedented expansion in American energy production over the last three and a half years. There are jobs to be had, 250,000 created just last year to do this important work."
Clean Energy Revolution will make their way to Allentown, Pittsburgh, Scranton and Philadelphia before leaving Pennsylvania and heading to other states on the east coast.
