P.G. Going Solar? Mayor Dan Cort Says Yes

Posted on by

Mayor Dan Cort wants to install solar panels on the city’s buildings and schools, which he said would reduce energy use by as much as 80 percent and set an example for other small California cities. I want Pacific Grove to be a totally energy sustainable, green city, Cort said. Representatives from Honeywell, a multinational corporation that specializes in energy efficient systems, were in town last week and visited several buildings to determine what’s necessary to retrofit them for solar energy.

Once known as the foggiest city in the USA. Has the climate changed to Arizona conditions over the last 100 years?

Cort was chosen as mayor last month by fellow council members to complete the term of Jim Costello, who resigned in May for health reasons.

Davis got the minimum of four votes needed for election. Councilwoman Lisa Bennett was absent.

The other applicants were David Dilworth, executive director of Helping Our Peninsula’s Environment; Victoria Stilwell, owner of The Woodenickel; Lee Willoughby, co-director of the Pacific Grove-based Tidepool Coalition; and residents Carmelita Garcia, Albert Zuniga and Mitchell Matthews.

Dilworth withdrew his name from consideration as his interview began and threw his support behind Willoughby.

C’mon Dilworth, don’t cut and run, try and finish what you start.
