I’m writing today as a friend of Kim Hoey Stevenson, someone I’ve known for many years. Kim has always been there for me in ways that go beyond words. When I needed help with my kids, she was there, carpooling, advocating advice for our son with autism. She wrote me a letter of recommendation for my citizenship, and made time to be present at my ceremony. I have witnessed Kim being there for so many people in our community. When I was waiting to close on my house and had nowhere to stay, Kim gave me a place to live. No matter what the favor, Kim never says no. She’s that kind of person – always thinking about how she can help others.

We are sixth in the world for renewables, and it is predicted that in 2025, there will be times in the year when all our electricity will be from renewables, though a few years later for that to be constant.
