Tiburon accepts county’s roadmap for building electrification as supplement to climate-action plan
Tiburon has given a thumbs up to Marin’s 10-step roadmap toward electrifying buildings, an energy-efficiency strategy through 2031 that aims to reduce greenhouse gases and will supplement the town’s own climate-action plan.
