Newsom's latest capricious bill exempts environmental review and costs us $1.4 Billion! Governor Newsom has now introduced another bill to allow for the continued operation of Diablo Canyon by a vague "five or ten years." The draft of this bill includes shortcuts and sweeping exemptions from environmental review from State permitting agencies. This bill also promises to "loan" PG&E up to $1.4 billion to cover costs of extending Diablo Canyon’s operating life - with all of the loan potentially "forgivable." It agrees to pay PG&E $7 per every megawatt-hour of power generated which would mean an annual subsidy exceeding $120 million. For more info, see this alert from Mothers for Peace: https://mailchi.mp/3bb5656d6ead/urgent-action-request *===========================* What: Save the Date - Candidate forum and endorsement meeting Where: Redstone Bldg (2940 16th Street, near South Van Ness), SF When: Wed, September 7, evening The SF Green Party will invite all candidates who return completed questionnaires on time to speak and answer questions at our candidate forum and endorsement meeting (tentatively scheduled for Wed, Sep 7 from 6:30 - 9 pm).
