Voices of Los Alamos heard from Los Alamos Utilities Manager Philo Shelton at their recent meeting about the results of a recent survey to determine the level of community support or opposition to the newly-adopted environmental goals of the Board of Public Utilities.
The six questions asked were as follows:
Do you support or oppose DPU’s goal to be a carbon neutral electric provider by 2040?
76.9% – Support
11% – Oppose
Currently Los Alamos has approximately 2 MW of local solar. Do you support or oppose DPU’s goal to increase local solar (such as rooftop solar panels) to 6 MW by 2040?
