Council candidate, Mark Greene, will detail an energy proposal and plan for the city at the early-July council meeting. Greene would like Newcastle to take from the example of Lund, Sweden and start a geothermal plant to help residents save on energy costs and possibly start the city on the road to the green energy center of Washington state, where "green" companies would be given a big welcome by City Hall. Greene envisions two or three small office buildings being built in Newcastle where a consortium of innovative green energy companies would set up shop and thus contribute to the economy of our city, including jobs for our residents. The contents of Greene's speech will be written on Northern Pacific Report a day or two after the meeting.
