Your reliable natural gas supply is thanks in part to my chemistry teacher, Mrs. Smith.
—Karla Dailey Senior Resource Planner, Gas
It takes a lot of planning and negotiating to ensure the natural gas
we use every day arrives safely and on budget. It’s part science, part
economics, and part stock market.
My inspiration for studying engineering and energy planning came
from my high school chemistry teacher. I hope I too can inspire your
daughters who have an interest in science to chase their dreams and
make a difference. Learn more about our gas supply planning at
CityofPaloAlto.org/utilities —click on “Gas Utility Long Term Plan.”

I’m working to provide a healthier environment for my kids—and yours.It’s very satisfying to help the City of Palo Alto be more energy efficient and lower our carbon emissions. But what really drives me is my children. I want them to grow up in a world that is cleaner than the one I grew up in.
The efforts we make today will have a lasting effect on generations to come. That’s why my work involving electric vehicles and smart grid applications is a small step toward the greater goal of a healthier Palo Alto, and a cleaner planet.
