BACKGROUND:
In July 2007 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously passed
an ordinance establishing the Clean Power SF project in San Francisco.
Clean Power SF will gather San Francisco electricity consumers together
in a cooperative that will use our collective buying power to build
enough solar, wind and efficiency projects to run the City on 50% clean,
renewable energy within the next decade. And because renewables and
efficiency save money compared to fossil fuel power, our electricity
rates will be kept low and stable. Similar projects in the East Bay,
Marin and Sonoma are also getting underway and need a strong San
Francisco program to anchor Bay Area clean energy efforts.
But the private monopoly PG&E corporation wants to kill this new clean
energy program and force us all to stay addicted to its dirty and
expensive fossil and nuclear power. PG&E is attacking Clean Power SF
with millions of dollars of negative advertising and ballot campaigns.
Over the next weeks and months, PG&E will be using these deceptive
campaigns to try to trick San Francisco electricity consumers into
opting out of Clean Power SF.
Come to the Clean Energy Forum next Tuesday to learn about this
groundbreaking new program and how you and fellow Bay Area residents can
stay in it and keep it strong!
