 December 3: "Stop Canal 3 - No Fracked Sandwich" Rally at the Cape Cod
Canal 
 
Please join the "Stop Canal 3" demonstration this Sunday December 3,
beginning at 1 pm, at the north end of Freezer Road in Sandwich (70 Freezer
Road). The event will be held outside, next to the Cape Cod Canal and the
proposed site of a new fracked-gas power plant that would pollute local
environments and the global atmosphere for decades to come. The event is
organized by 350 Mass Cape Cod members and supported by the Cape Cod and
Islands Group of the Massachusetts Sierra Club and other local
organizations.    

"Stop Canal 3" will incorporate a short "No Fracked Sandwich" street theater
performance dramatizing reasons for opposing this plant and investing in
renewable energy. The featured speaker will be Conservation Law Foundation
attorney David Ismay, discussing CLF's ongoing appeal of the state's Energy
Facility Siting Board permit. Emily Norton, executive director of MA Sierra,
also will give remarks.

 "Sink or Swim" Political Action Plan from 350 Mass Cape Cod
 With summer on the wane and state legislators heading back to work, 350
Mass Cape Cod members hosted a party for citizens and advocates interested
in political action to help save the Cape from the worst effects of climate
change. 
The event, held September 10 in South Yarmouth as Hurricane Irma pounded
Florida, featured several speakers as well as release of the

State Rep. Dylan Fernandes drew the loudest applause, calling climate change
"the defining issue of our time." He added, "We
need to tell our representatives that we won't vote for them unless they are
standing up for climate action... No new pipelines are needed to meet our
energy needs... The most important piece is advocating for a carbon tax."

The "Sink or Swim" Political Action Plan focuses on promoting
climate-friendly policies, opposing new or expanded fossil fuel
infrastructure projects, and holding government officials accountable. The
plan specifies policy priorities at the state, regional, and local levels
and outlines how citizens can help save Cape Cod from the worst effects of
climate change. 

State-level priorities include bills challenging development of new fossil
fuel infrastructure, increasing reliance on renewable energy, and creating a
progressive carbon pricing system. Priorities for local and regional
officials are designed to engage citizens and communities in together making
progress by leveraging unique capabilities available through the Cape Cod
Climate Change Collaborative, Cape Light Compact, and Cape Cod Commission.

Regional Energy-Emissions Targets & Technology Strategy

Cape & Islands targets of "50% Fossil Fuel Reduction" and "100% Green Power
Production" were established in 2006 through the Cape & Islands Renewable
Energy Collaborative (CIRenew) then endorsed in 2008 by representatives from
leading local businesses, municipal energy committees, and the  following
organizations: 

Cape & Islands Self-Reliance, Cape Cod  Chamber of Commerce, Cape Cod
Community College, Cape Cod Commission,  Cape Cod Economic Development
Council, Cape Cod National Seashore, Cape Cod Technology Council, Cape Light
Compact, Clean Power Now, Housing Assistance Corporation, Save Our Sound,
Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and Woods Hole Research
Center 

The CIRenew goals were developed through a "Beyond Cape Wind"  stakeholder
process supported in part by the Massachusetts Renewable  Energy Trust Fund.
Subsequently, an energy and emissions inventory was conducted and the Cape &
Islands Energy Technology Strategy
