Hi all,
*Please Forward This Email Widely*
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has cynically blocked CleanPowerSF and released a revised Climate Action Strategy with CleanPowerSF unacceptably deleted from it!
On September 18, 2012, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, by a supermajority vote, directed the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to launch the CleanPowerSF program. CleanPowerSF is planned to immediately give San Franciscans the choice of 100% clean electricity, and hire hundreds of workers to build community projects to deliver 50% of that clean electricity from local installations.
But outrageously, Mayor Lee (who has received campaign support from the fossil fuel utility Pacific Gas & Electric and its high paid political consultant Willie Brown) has been using his leverage as mayor to prevent CleanPowerSF from launching.
In his latest attempt to interfere with CleanPowerSF, Mayor Lee has just released a revised version of the city's Climate Action Strategy with all references to CleanPowerSF removed!
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Go to the following link to send an email to Mayor Lee and other decision makers to demand that he restore CleanPowerSF to its rightful place as the centerpiece of the Climate Action Strategy, and that he launch CleanPowerSF immediately!

WHAT YOU CAN DO - STEP 2
Attend an important City Hall hearing on CleanPowerSF next week to deliver your message in person at public comment time.
San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos has called a Monday, March 31 hearing to demand answers on why the mayor is both blocking the launch of CleanPowerSF and releasing a Climate Action Strategy with CleanPowerSF deleted from its text.
Here are the hearing details:
