November 2022 Newsletter
Dear valued member,

Goodbye golden leaves, and hello white snow! Ready or not, the holiday and winter season is here. In this edition, we offer practical tips on how to reduce your energy bills, save money while away on holidays, and breathe cleaner by adopting induction cooking.

Beyond that, we also give an update on LPEA's future power supply negotiations, address LPEA's involvement (or lack thereof) in the proposed Hesperus solar project, and offer a few reminders to join us for this year's "Fill the Bucket" food drive on November 19th and next year's D.C. youth tour (applications due December 16th).

Stay warm out there!
