LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A City Council motion was introduced today to have the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power create an equitable hiring plan as it works toward reaching 100% renewable energy.
The motion was introduced by Councilmen Paul Krekorian and Mitch O'Farrell, who on April 6 also introduced a motion to get the city to 100% clean energy by 2035, a decade earlier than the current goal. That motion will be reviewed by the Energy, Climate Change, Environmental Justice and River Committee on Thursday.
“Another summer of wildfires and drought is a stark reminder that the devastating effects of climate change are already here, and our work to achieve 100% clean energy in the city is urgent,'' said O'Farrell, the chair of the committee. “As we relentlessly pursue a future powered by renewables -- and the thousands of new jobs that will be created -- we must ensure there is full equity in the hiring process and throughout the workforce. Many Angelenos live in environmentally and economically disadvantaged communities, and we will not leave them behind.''
