[Sustain] Urgent! Hearing On Combustion Turbines Likely This Mon or Tue
Hi all, Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier has just requested that Supervisor Maxwell hold a Land Use Committee hearing on alternatives to the JPower natural gas combustion turbine project. If Maxwell agrees, there will be a hearing this Monday, December 10 (probably beginning at 1pm in City Hall Room 263). If Maxwell refuses, the item will very likely be called before the full Board of Supervisors this Tuesday, December 11 in Room 250 (probably in the later afternoon). In either case, public comment will be allowed, and we need to be ready to turn out in huge numbers to say 'NO!' to the JPower natural gas power plant. It is also possible that by next week, one of our allies on the Board of Supervisors will introduce an alternative proposal to the JPower project. Regardless of whether there is an alternative on the table, we need to stand strong in the position that San Francisco doesn't need -any- more fossil fuel generation and that any alternative that -is- proposed must be held to -very- high standards; much higher than the SFPUC's and Cal ISO's weak standards for the JPower deal. So, exciting things are afoot. I'll let you know by the end of the week what is happening with hearings, and with alternatives to the JPower deal. peace Eric Brooks Our City SF Green Party -- "I am not a liberator.

And also the first meeting of the Peak Oil Taskforce is happening Wednesday, 12/5, 2:30 at City Hall, 4th Floor. I plan to come and maybe we can caucus. Don At 05:43 PM 12/4/2007, Eric Brooks wrote:

Marx said it best in 1843: "Human emancipation wll only be complete when the real, individual man (sic) is absorbed into himself the abstract citizen; when as an individual man, in his every day life, in his work and in his relationships, he has become a species-being (politically accountabe to the whole); and when he recognizes and realizes his own power as social powers, so that he no longer separates this social power from himself as political power."
