Cynthia Mitchell is a not-so-retired energy economist and community organizer who is engaged in a variety of utility and climate-related issues. She draws on five decades of good trouble with electric utilities as an expert witness and consultant to state attorney general consumer advocate offices and regulatory commissions around the country, pushing back against uneconomic and environmentally degrading fossil fuel projects and ushering in an era of clean energy. A Bellingham resident, Cynthia is happiest in the mossy ferny forest.
