[Sustain] Fwd: IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, TAKE ACTION TODAY!
by Don Eichelberger 09 Apr '13

All- I made this call to Sen. Feinstein and hope you can, too. It is outrageous that the proposed budget includes billions for upgrading nuclear weapons while they consider cutting back on Social Security. I hope you can call this week, if not today. Thanks, Don -------- Original Message -------- Subject: IF YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, TAKE ACTION TODAY! Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:22:36 -0700 From: Jackie Cabasso <wslf(a)earthlink.net> Reply-To: wslf(a)earthlink.net To: *CALIFORNIA SENATE ACTION ALERT: PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY!** * /*TODAY! April 9th: Call-in Day to Cut Nuclear Weapons Spending*/ // // In the past few years there’s been a lot of nice sounding rhetoric about eliminating nuclear weapons uttered by President Obama and various senior statesmen. Unfortunately, the rhetoric doesn’t match the reality. The U.S. government is officially committed to modernizing its nuclear bombs and warheads; the submarines, missiles, and aircraft that carry them; and the laboratories and plants that design, maintain, and manufacture nuclear weapons. U.S. policy and budget documents all manifest an intent to keep thousands of nuclear weapons in service for the foreseeable future, together with the capability to bring stored weapons back into service and to design and manufacture new weapons should they be desired. ** At the time of the Fiscal Year 2012 President’s Budget Request submitted to Congress in early February 2011, the administration anticipated spending approximately $88 billion for bombs and warheads and supporting infrastructure and about $125 billion for delivery systems over a ten year period. Independent estimates of total U.S. spending for nuclear weapons and related programs place the number even higher, at $31 billion or more annually. In FY 2013, the U.S. will spend more, in inflation-adjusted dollars, on nuclear warheads and bombs than it did during the average Cold War year! *Californians have an important role to play in calling for the elimination of nuclear weapons and opposing austerity measures that will result in draconian cuts to social services. *Our Senator, Dianne Feinstein, is the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Energy and Water, the committee that oversees the nuclear weapons budget, and is one of the most important leaders in the Senate on the issue. *That is why an urgent Statewide Call-in campaign is starting today, Tuesday, April 9th, to show Sen. Feinstein that Californians want to cut spending on nuclear weapons! Please join people across California who are joining forces to call Sen. Feinstein starting today!* *Call Senator Feinstein at (415) 393-0707.* Here is a suggested message:    My name is ________ and I live in _________.I urge Senator Feinstein to honor the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Call on Congress: “to terminate funding for modernization of nuclear warheads, delivery systems, and production facilities, to slash spending on nuclear weapons well below Cold War levels, and to redirect those funds to meet the urgent needs of cities.” ** *Please call Sen. Feinstein ASAP and help us keep her phone ringing off the hook.**   * *More Information:* The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) is the nonpartisan national association of cities with populations over 30,000. At its June 2012 Annual meeting, the USCM unanimously adopted a resolution /Calling for U.S. Leadership in Global Elimination of Nuclear Weapons and Redirection of Nuclear Weapons Spending to Meet the Urgent Needs of Cities. /http://www.usmayors.org/resolutions/80th_Conference/international08.asp -- Jacqueline Cabasso Executive Director Western States Legal Foundation Working for Peace & Justice in a Nuclear Free World www.wslfweb.org www.disarmamentactivist.org www.facebook.com/WesternStatesLegalFoundation Twitter@JackieCabasso 510-839-5877

[Sustain] ALERT! - WIENER-CEQA: Pre-Hearing Strategy & LAND USE HEARING Next MONDAY APR 8, 12:30pm & 1:30pm
by Eric Brooks 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hi all, This is the BIG one! Supervisor Wiener is taking his attack on the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to the Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee next Monday April 8, and then potentially to the full Board the very next day! It is vital for every group opposing the Wiener measure to as rapidly as possible endorse the sign-on letter sent out two days ago (see the newest version attached). And it is equally important for all of us to then attend next Monday's hearing, which is our key (and likely only) moment to tell the Board of Supervisors in public comment that we strongly oppose Wiener's measure and want Kim's Community Alternative to be considered in its place. Board President David Chiu is on the Land Use Committee with both Supervisor Wiener and Supervisor Kim, and so Chiu's vote is extremely important to winning a delay of the Wiener measure in committee so that Kim's legislation can come forward and be considered. We need to arrive in force before David Chiu in this hearing. As before, we will gather in the City Hall Basement Cafe an hour prior to hearing time so that we can nail down our public comment strategy, and then come in hard into Wiener's hearing and show him no quarter! PRE-HEARING STRATEGY MEETING - Monday, April 8, 12:30pm - SF City Hall Basement Cafe LAND USE COMMITTEE HEARING - Monday April 8, 1:30pm - SF City Hall Room 263 As always please RSVP to brookse32(a)earthlink.net if you plan to attend the strategy meeting and/or the hearing. Let's kick some butt at zero hour! cheers, Eric Brooks 415-756-8844 -- "I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves." Che Guevara

by Eric Brooks 30 Mar '13

Hi all, We have just heard through the grapevine that Supervisor Wiener may try for a vote in the Land Use Committee for his CEQA legislation on April 8 (instead of April 15) with a likely vote on April 9 at the full Board of Supervisors. Because of this accelerated time line, it is vital that we quickly generate an official sign-on letter opposing supervisor Wiener's CEQA legislation so that we will have enough leverage to delay it until the Jane Kim Community Alternative can come forward for consideration. The SF Green Party has already consensed to oppose the Wiener CEQA legislation, however many of you are affiliated with other groups that we also need to add in official opposition. See the sign-on letter attached as SF_CEQA_Sign-On_3-29-13 PLEASE REPLY BY APRIL 7 WITH YOUR GROUP'S ENDORSEMENT OF THE LETTER Also see attached for reference, 'CCIT_Fact_Sheet_on_Wiener_CEQA Legislation' the most recent critique of Wiener's legislation from our Community CEQA Improvement Team. Again, please reply by April 7 with your group's endorsement of this letter. My cell number is below, so feel free to call with any questions. thanks, Eric Brooks - 415-756-8844 Campaign Coordinator, Our City Coordinator, Community CEQA Improvement Team

[Sustain] VERY IMPORTANT: Wiener-CEQA STRATEGY MEETING & PUBLIC HEARING, Thu, Mar 14, 11AM & NOON - SF City Hall Cafe and Room 400
by Eric Brooks 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi all, We have both a crucial Planning Commission hearing on Scott Wiener's legislation attacking the the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and a pre-hearing STRATEGY MEETING beforehand, coming up this Thursday in City Hall beginning at 11am. It is vital that we establish to the Planning Commission that Supervisor Wiener was absolutely unresponsive to their recommendation that he work with community stakeholders to improve his CEQA legislation. (NOTE: The Planning agenda items being heard in front of the Wiener-CEQA measure should go fairly quickly so show up on time. See talking points for public comment further below and attached. Please reply right away to brookse32(a)earthlink.net to confirm that you plan to attend either or both meetings.) NEXT CEQA STRATEGY MEETING: - Thursday, March 14, SF City Hall Basement Cafe, 11am - To discuss public comment strategy for Noon Planning Commission CEQA hearing THEN - PLANNING COMMISSION: on project deadlines & Wiener CEQA measure - Thursday, March 14, SF City Hall Room 400, 12 noon - NOTE: Two Items #8 and #12 Details & Talking Points: - Item 8, COMMISSION POLICY ON TIMING OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Two resolutions which extend the start deadlines for many developer projects to 6 years (instead of 3) and allow the Planning Dept. Zoning Administrator to unilaterally extend such deadlines indefinitely! See details at: http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcpackets/Commission_Packet-Policy_on_Pr… - Item 12, CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PROCEDURES (WIENER) Draft 3 of Supervisor Scott Wiener's CEQA measure; which still contains no significant amendments whatsoever in response to our concerns. **TALKING POINTS FOR THE HEARING** (also attached as pdf) ON ITEM 8, PROJECT TIMING These rule changes should not be considered until the proposed amendments to CEQA procedures are decided upon, -especially- where the rule changes would allow deadline extensions due to CEQA appeals. The rule changes themselves would give developers excessive leeway to delay, and leave important land and buildings idle much too long, with the selfish intention of increasing profits by waiting for property values to increase. And they would give FAR too much power to the Zoning Administrator to extend such delays indefinitely. ON ITEM 12, WIENER CEQA PROCEDURE AMENDMENTS (3 points) 1) On November, 29, 2012, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended to Supervisor Wiener that he meet with the many community opponents to the first and second drafts of his CEQA legislation, and to then introduce an AMENDED text which reflects feedback from these community organizations. 2) Supervisor Wiener was then highly selective in notices he sent to community representatives, leaving most of us uninformed that the meetings were taking place. Community representatives were forced to find out about the Supervisor's so-called 'roundtable discussions' third hand, and then send out our own notices to others and alert them to these important meetings. 3) After three so-called 'roundtable discussions' with Supervisor Wiener, Planning Staff, and City Attorney Elaine Warren, no substantial changes AT ALL have been made in this legislation to address the many serious problems that we have clearly documented both to them and to the Planning Commission. We therefore call on the Commission to recommend a 'NO' vote on Supervisor Wiener's legislation to the Board of Supervisors. Community requirements which have still not been met are: (Bring and refer to the longer attached 'Talking Points For March 14 Planning Hearing On CEQA' to read one or two specific requirements that Supervisor Wiener has failed to meet.) This is a big one all! Let's put Supervisor Wiener on public notice for his failure to work with us! Again, please reply right away to brookse32(a)earthlink.net to confirm that you plan to attend either or both meetings. peace Eric Brooks Campaign Coordinator, Our City 415-756-8844

The report was released today by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission after Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Representative Edward Markey (D-Mass.) revealed its existence and demanded it be made public. The report documents that Edison knew of specific safety concerns with the replacement steam generator design as early as 2005, and failed to incorporate changes proposed to fix it because they would trigger a more lengthy and public review by the NRC. It fatally undermines Edison's case for restarting one of the plant's crippled reactors and for receiving any compensation from the California Public Utility Commission. "This is a bombshell," said Damon Moglen, energy and climate director for Friends of the Earth. "Edison clearly knew about design problems with the San Onofre replacement steam generators yet failed to take corrective action. Instead Edison gambled with the safety of millions of Southern Californians. It is inconceivable that the NRC would now give approval to restart these damaged reactors without the thorough, public review of a license amendment proceeding." David Freeman, former head of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and a senior advisor to Friends of the Earth, said the Mitsubishi report could prove pivotal with the California Public Utility Commission, which is considering whether Edison can pass on to its customers the $671 million cost of the faulty generators, plus the cost of repairs and replacement power during the plant's shutdown, now in its 14^th month. Said Freeman: "It's clear that ratepayers in Southern California can not be expected to pay for Edison's defective equipment if Edison acted imprudently. At nuclear reactors, prioritizing construction speed over safety is the height of imprudence." Since Sen. Boxer and Rep. Markey revealed the existence of the report, Friends of the Earth has demanded that the NRC Petition Review Board consider it in proceedings currently underway. The Petition Review Board, in response to a petition from Friends of the Earth, is determining whether Edison improperly failed to apply for a license amendment before installing replacement steam generators of a radically different design than was permitted under the reactors' operating license. Nuclear engineers Arnie Gunderson of Burlington, Vt., and John Large of London, consultants to Friends of the Earth, are reviewing the Mitsubishi report and will provide expert analysis. # # # Click here for the MHI document <http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/92/5/2795/MHI_Root_Cause.pdf>.

What does "discussion draft" mean? It means that this version does not begin the formal rulemaking process. Instead, it is a starting point for discussion by key stakeholders -- industry, the environmental community, other regulators, and interested members of the public -- in preparation for the more formal process. These "discussion draft" regulations include provisions for pre-fracturing well testing; advance notification; monitoring during and after fracturing operations; disclosure of materials used in fracturing fluid; trade secrets; and storage and handling of hydraulic fracturing fluids. The Department will conduct the first of several stakeholder workshops to receive input on the "discussion draft" regulations on February 19 in Los Angeles. The meeting will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the downtown Doubletree Hotel, 120 South Los Angeles Street.Workshops will also be held in Bakersfield and Sacramento, with dates, times and locations to be announced soon.

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!
