I am troubled by the huge extent this article depended- quoted pretty 
much the whole thing word for word - a propaganda piece aimed at 
discrediting CCA issued by PG&E.

First, it is full of the kinds of disinformation PG&E is famous for. 
PG&E has a history of fighting dirty. In 2000,   these same 
falsehoods were published on SF newspaper front pages  in an article 
issued by a PG&E front group on election day. The $20 thousand fine 
they gladly paid saved them millions.

The 360 Mw pledge, to provide that amount of conservation and 
renewable energy to meet city energy needs as quickly as possible is 
doable. Once built- using revenue bond money for renewable energy 
that SF voters DID approve in 2000- residents will have that much 
protection from the erratic costs of fossil fuels in energy production.

What troubles me most, though, legislation that instituted CCA 
included prohibitions against local utilities using their deep 
pockets to influence the debate.  You are complicit!
