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!
