[Sustain] Combustion Turbine Hearing Now Starting 4:47pm - Monday, Jan 28, City Hall Room 263!

[Eric Brooks]

Hey all,

The hearing described below is just getting started at 4:47pm so there 
will be time to comment if you want to go there this evening.

peace

Eric Brooks


Ok all - We're on again!

Michela Alioto-Pier's hearing on alternatives to The JPower Combustion
Turbine plant is finally on for real, and will be item 4 (of 4) at the
Land Use Committee this Monday, Jan 28, Room 263.

The hearing begins at 1pm and so the first hour may well be taken up by
other items. But as we know, Supervisor Maxwell as chair of the
committee might play games with the schedule and call our item early, so
if you can, be there at 1pm.

**This is our first big chance to show a major public turnout to the
Board of Supervisors opposing the JPower CT plant and supporting solar,
wind and other renewable energy measures instead.**

Here's the hearing link, followed by the actual agenda (Item 2 is a
measure to keep the Academy Of Art College from taking over the Flower
Market and kicking out the local wholesale flower merchants.) Our item
is last on the list:
