> 
> 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.

> 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 was formulated to help guide and monitor progress toward the goals.
