    <p>I just got this email and I worry about Arcadia Power's effect on
      SF Community Choice Aggregation, as well as other CCAs who might
      be getting this or similar messages? CCA lets the city buy power
      as an aggregate. It looks like Arcadia Power could take customers
      out of that aggregate, putting them in a separate system and drive
      prices up for those who remain?  Or, does Arcadia Power somehow
      augment renewables in the system? Focus is on wind.<br>

    <p>What do people think or know? Should we issue a warning? Is this
      even legal?<br>

                                            think about your utility

                                            For 100 years we’ve been
                                            conditioned to get the power
                                            bill, make sure it isn’t too
                                            high, pay it manually, and
                                            repeat every month. There
                                            aren’t any options
                                            available, the bill is hard
                                            to understand, and we don’t
                                            really know what we’re
                                            paying for. Worst of all,
                                            when those bills are high
                                            (or really low!), we don’t
                                            really know why.<br>

                                            We get it. Someone needed to
                                            flip the industry on its
                                            head and make clean energy
                                            just as easy as buying
