Thanking Mayor and Council for New Renewable Energy Program

To the Editor:

We just received the letter describing the Constellation Energy program that Sustainable Princeton and Princeton put together for its residents. I can’t tell you how proud I am that our town has made the effort to step up to not only reducing our overall carbon footprint, but also finding a way to have both clean energy and lower utility bills.

I know the utility discount is not great at this point, and renewable content is only 50 percent, but I am fully confident that both will grow as renewable energy cost continues to decline, and solar and wind generation becomes more available. This is a great start and I want to congratulate and thank the mayor and city Council for their vision and good care of its residents.
