The Bay Area is incredibly well-positioned for a transition to a local clean energy economy, perhaps more so than any other region in this country. The Local Clean Energy Alliance (LCEA) is an alliance of local nonprofits Bay Localize, Ecology Center, KyotoUSA, Pacific Environment, and the Sierra Club, and businesses including Sun Light & Power, SunEnergy, Nomad Café, and Crunchy Foods.View the list of alliance members .
