I'm lobbying the SF Green Party to include notice---to SIthe Global and Peabody Coal---that we won't be needing any of their filthy coal-fired power from the native Four Corners here on our own little corner of the Southwest Power Grid, or any gas turbine peaker plants in Bayview Hunters Point---as part of this April 10th press conference about San Francisco going for solar and wind.  

I hope to get to the test site for Mother's Day with Corbin----Ann

50% is just the beginning. We can go on to 100%, hopefully before 2030.

Our City just stared a campaign against the 'peakers'. :)

cheers

Are you kidding?  This is it?   What about the peakers in Bayview Hunters Point?  And, has the fight always been for only 50%?  What if 75% of San Franciscans don't want to choose PG&E's filthy power?

WHY THIS EVENT IS SO IMPORTANT

Historic Vote At Last Approaches

After many years of hard work by Local Power, Our City, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, The SF Green Party, Supervisors Tom Ammiano and Ross Mirkarimi, and many other organizers, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is at last only a month away from a final vote on the project plan for Community Choice Energy, which will make San Francisco the most Solar and Wind powered city in the world, running on 50% clean renewable energy, within the next decade.

PG&E Could Addict Us To Dirty Energy If We Don't Act Now!

The California Public Utilities Commission has given PG&E the opening to beat renewable energy to the punch, and force every city in California to pay for 8 new fossil fuel power plants, and a dangerous 30 year extension of its nuclear power production at Diablo Canyon. PG&E is about to join the Williams company to bring in massive amounts of liquid natural gas for electricity production through a huge pipeline planned to be built from Coos Bay Oregon to Northern California.
