A new community-led initiative promotes green energy projects in Northwest Alaska.
The Kotzebue Clean Energy Coalition was created in January to "foster grassroots involvement in the transition to renewable energy," said the Energy Project Manager at the Native Village of Kotzebue Chad Nordlum. Since then, between two and six people have been meeting weekly to share ideas.
"The idea was to build a grassroots group to push initiatives that actual residents of Kotzebue were interested in," he said.

The goal is to come to a consensus on projects to work towards and to work together to get the projects done."
