[Sustain] Major Progress In LAFCo For Clean Power SF (CCA) !

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

Things went beautifully in the LAFCo today for Clean Power SF (CCA). The 
commissioners voted unanimously to hire Local Power to oversee the Clean 
Power SF Request For Proposals (RFP) work.

Commissioner Schmeltzer was out, and so local Sierra Club director
Michael Bornstein had a vote today, and also asked that Local Power be
put to work under the contract immediately to assess the SFPUC's CCA 
process to date and give a report. The commission ok'd this move.

While we have had some major setbacks and serious wounds previously, 
this hiring of Local Power now gives us a vital seat at the table when 
we didn't have one before, and may well save the CCA project.

There is still a lot to do, and we will still have to be vigilant and 
diligent in pushing for a good clean energy project in order to actually 
get one, but I for one feel like a huge weight that was pinning my chest 
for two full years has just been completely lifted away.

peace......
