This is a critical time in Durham's history — and for other small New Hampshire towns, as well as for countries around the globe. Energy is at the heart of many issues that we all face going forward.Our current dependence on fossil fuel influences both our personal and our municipal decisions. The Durham Energy Committee believes that it is incumbent upon Durham, as a community, to face the challenges associated with energy use and climate change and to plan for a more sustainable future. We encourage you to join in the discussion and learn how you can have a positive impact.
