“Shrinking Bigfoot” |
Seattle City Light (SCL), Seattle's municipal electric utility serves nearly a million customers. Throughout SCL's public power history its focus has been on serving our citizen owners, including future citizen-owners - children - through educational programs. Hydropower is the source for nearly 90% of Seattle's electricity. Because climate change threatens the watersheds and the glaciers feeding its hydropower reservoirs, SCL seeks to educate students about their energy choices. |
