April Climate Circle: California’s Electric Rates Are Too High
2025-04-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom Meeting
California’s electric rates are too high!
This month the Contra Costa Climate Circle will discuss California’s high electricity rates and possible solutions.
According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, between 2019 and 2023, residential rates rose by 47 percent. There is general agreement on the causes of the rate increase, but considerable disagreement about solutions. How can we generate more local, affordable electricity? Join the next Climate Circle on Monday, April 7th to discuss issues and possible solutions.
Register here to receive the discussion materials and Zoom link.
The Contra Costa Climate Circle is a Zoom meeting for the climate concerned. Come connect with like minded folks and discuss current events in a safe and friendly space, each month, the first Monday, from 12-1 pm. All are welcome. We look forward to meeting you!

Join a Contra Costa Climate Circle!
2025-03-03 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom Meeting
The Contra Costa Climate Circle is a Zoom meeting for the climate concerned. Come connect with like minded folks and discuss current events in a safe and friendly space. All are welcome. We look forward to meeting you!
This month, the focus is on wildfire. Wildfires in California in the past 10 years have destroyed thousands of homes and burned millions of acres of forest, polluting the air we breathe and releasing harmful carbon dioxide into the earth’s atmosphere.
As a result of catastrophic wildfires, homeowners’ fire insurance is becoming prohibitively expensive, or unavailable. How could future local wildfires impact us and our neighborhoods? What can we do to make our homes and communities more fire safe?
The Climate Circle takes place the first Monday of the month from 12-1pm.
