> I want to change Local because I want all JSON encoding to be normalized 
to UTC and not local time - there does not seem to be a way to do this 
(please let me know if I am missing something). 

Yes, you are missing something. This is very easy. Do not change Local. 
Just use the In() method on any time.Time. Pass it the *time.Location 
constant for the place you want. For UTC, simply use time.UTC

currentTimeInUTC := time.Now().In(time.UTC)
