[Sustain] IMPORTANT: CleanPowerSF FINAL VOTE IN SEPTEMBER

[Eric Brooks]

Hi all,

The coalition championing CleanPowerSF has finally succeeded in getting 
the SF Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to make a local buildout of 
hundreds of megawatts of renewables and efficiency the essential 
foundation of the program. The study and bid preparation work for this 
buildout will be completed by the end of 2012. (See attached the press 
release announcing the buildout victory and the Local Clean Energy 
Alliance estimate for the thousands of local jobs that this buildout 
will generate.) This program will run San Francisco on over 50% clean 
electricity by the end of the decade.

IMPORTANT: FINAL CleanPowerSF VOTE IN SEPTEMBER

On Wednesday September 12, legislation enacting both a small startup 
energy purchasing contract with Shell Energy North America, and 
approving the larger buildout program, will be introduced in the Board 
of Supervisors Budget & Finance Committee.

In early September prior to that Budget and Finance hearing, we will 
need every possible organization and individual to contact the Board and 
Mayor to support the legislation.

If the legislation is approved, the program will at last begin in early 
2013!

We are almost there. But we will need a STRONG uprising of community 
support. (Especially in light of the fact that a PG&E PR Executive was 
just made the head of the San Francisco Democratic Party.)

I will post again soon with an action alert for supporting the legislation.

cheers
