[Sustain] Fwd: [Fwd: End CA's Fossil Fuel Addiction]

[Don Eichelberger]

Californians need to get a moratorium on fossil fueled electricity added 
to our ban on nukes.  California should lead the way in building a 
decentralized energy delivery system using renewables and get rid of 
big, dangerous, wasteful centralized energy grids. Building centralized 
solar and wind facilities does not do it, either, yet big money 
companies like Chevron and the investor owned utilities build their 
"environmental credentials" on them. Centralized facilities, especially 
fossil fueled base load generators need to be a relic of the past, and soon!

Dear Barbara,

*Protect California
from Dirty Gas Plants!


San Diego Gas Plant Mock Up
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=0A5OHtEkVwIiCLD1k74atg>*Mock-up 
of the proposed Quail
Brush Gas Plant in San Diego

*Take Action <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=iiXUa231wON1pnRHjlCGvg>*

*San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) is determined to keep California 
shackled to dirty energy at the expense of the environment, our pocket 
books and our clean energy future.*

Californians are working aggressively to develop our greatest clean 
energy resource, sunshine, and we're seeing the enormous benefits 
locally and across the state from it. *But now San Diego Gas & Electric 
wants to build two new dirty gas plants in San Diego that we don't even 
need.*

In the next month the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will 
decide whether to approve SDG&E's request to build these dirty plants -- 
and you can help stop them.

*Tell the CPUC to deny the request to build new gas plants in San Diego. 
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=rOk78aK9Rwp5lTxAsVnPQA>*

***California's future rests on the shoulders of clean energy not 
natural gas.**
*

Clean energy is creating tens of thousands of clean energy jobs, cleaner 
air and local economic development. Since 2010, jobs in the solar 
industry grew at a rate of 13% across the country, compared with just 3% 
for the rest of the economy.

*Send a message to the CPUC and tell them that you want California to 
invest in clean energy, not dirty gas.* 
<http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=f284GS5vZtEjfInEnaCZ1w>

Time again the San Diego Chapter of the Sierra Club has beat back SDG&E 
locally including the Quail Brush Plant. But SDG&E won't stop trying to 
get their way at the CPUC. But if we defeat SDG&E now it will set a 
precedent that Californians don't need to power our homes and businesses 
with out-dated dirty fossil fuels anymore and help protect communities 
across the state from attempts by big utilities to build dirty energy 
plants. *Let's stop solving 21st century problems with 20th century 
solutions.*

*Tell the CPUC to deny SDG&E's permits to build two new power plants in 
San Diego. <http://action.sierraclub.org/site/R?i=LQAizIp7fwLOFqbwfH4xZw>*

Thanks for all you do for the environment,

Beth and John Frice -- Volunteer Leaders
San Diego Chapter, Sierra Club
