The Center for the Commercialization of Electric Technologies (CCET) will present the draft “Texas Triangle Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Readiness Plan.” The plan addresses the corridors connecting Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin-San Antonio and Houston and explores ways to educate Texas consumers about PEV costs and benefits.

Plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure is in place and continues to develop in Texas’ largest metropolitan areas, and progress is being made to eliminate other barriers to PEV readiness in these regions. It is also crucial to focus on the corridors between the large population centers to ensure medium-size and smaller cities are able to make gains in electric vehicle adoption and infrastructure development.

CCET will hear questions, concerns and suggestions about the plan during the meeting.

This event is hosted by the North Texas Environmental Meetup Group. In addition to talking about water, the group will also be talking about the latest environmental news and then move on to member suggested topics.

This event is scheduled around dinnertime, so feel free to come a little bit early and get a bite to eat or pick up a pint while we're there. Since we'll be taking up some space, it's only fair to give back a bit to the restaurant.

Hosted by EcoTuesday, an important message to building/property owners and managers will be given by Lori De La Cruz, ABC, and the Vice President of Sustainability Education at U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce (Lone Star Chapter). This is also a networking opportunity to meet other people in the property/building industry and trades. Refreshments will be served. Please sign up ASAP to attend at: http://www.meetup.com... before registration fills up.

The primary goal of sustainable architecture is to consume fewer resources. How can this be reconciled with a culture and economy that measures its vitality in terms of how quickly consumption can be grown?

Cost: $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

The Dallas City Council will receive its second briefing about the Gas Drilling Task Force and its recommendations for the new city ordinance to govern fracking operations. Mayor Rawlings and Council members will hear presentations from those seeking to strengthen the proposed ordinance—and from others seeking to weaken it. Residents should attend to demonstrate support for protecting public health and our quality of life!
