Action Alert
California Public Utilities Commission
San Onofre OII Vote
Thursday -- August 2nd -- 9:00 AM
505 Van Ness Ave -- San Francisco
CPUC Main Auditorium

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will vote whether to 
do a special investigation called an OII(Order Instituting 
Investigation) for San Onofre on August 2nd at the CPUC's headquarters 
in San Francisco at 9:00 AM during their regular meeting.

What's at stake couldn't be more important.  The CPUC has the power to 
close San Onofre on the grounds that it is no longer economically viable 
to run.  The politically appointed commissioners will be under immense 
pressure to allow Southern California Edison (SoCal Ed), the company 
that owns San Onofre, to continue with the status quot.  In fact, the 
chairman of the CPUC, Michael Peevey, also happens to be the former head 
of SoCal Ed. There has been major pressure for Peevey to step down 
because his role in protecting PG&E from stronger actions as a result of 
the 2009 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion.  At a minimum he should 
either step aside on this issue due to a conflict of interest or vote 
for the investigation.

If you are able to attend, please do so and sign up to speak. The public 
is given 3 minutes to speak at the start of the meeting. Here are the 
rules for speaking.
