**Sustainability**

The -Sustainability- Working Group meeting is next Thursday Apr 26,
7:30pm at the Green Party office.

The main agenda item will be to strategise a plan for a Green
counter-attack to the concerted promotion of nukes, 'clean coal',
biofuels, carbon credit shell games, hybrid vehicles, and PG&E
greenwashing media blitz, that are all currently taking the world and
San Francisco by storm; dangerously masquerading as solutions to the
global climate crisis. (We will also discuss the request from some CC
members that we prepare a presentation for the state meeting in May.)

There will also be an exciting update on the now imminent Community
Choice Energy legislation/project, for a 50% renewable electricity
powered San Francisco by 2020.

Other topics of discussion will be:

1) The looming Williams natural gas turbine and Transbay Cable
installations, both of which would promote a huge increase in cheap
fossil fuel availability - and threaten the Southeast side with yet more
toxic pollution.

2) A quick update on the happy death of pro-nuke and pro liquid natural
gas moves in California.

and

3) How the Global Climate Crisis gives us a key organizing window to
push hard for a massive increase in transit.
