Hi all,

Here are CleanPowerSF talking points for today's 1:30pm joint LAFCo/SFPUC hearing in SF City Hall, room 250. Use any one or more of these points in your comments and emails to insist that there are no more delays and that CleanPowerSF must start immediately.

1) After over 10 years of delays the planet cannot wait any longer for this crucial clean energy program to be launched.

2) PG&E is launching its competing 'clean' energy program early next year. It would be a *big* mistake for us to delay at this crucial competitive moment.

3) The energy market and PG&E rates change all the time and CleanPowerSF has been designed to be flexible enough to stay cleaner and more affordable than PG&E, regardless of such changes. This delay is completely unnecessary.

4) CleanPowerSF's existing business plan can easily be adapted as the program moves forward. If we push the pause button every time the energy market changes, we'll never start the program! Approve the CleanPowerSF startup next month as promised!

5) For decades the SFPUC has been managing and delivering over 150 megawatts of power through the Hetch Hetchy system. The SFPUC clearly has the experience and expertise to manage the far much smaller 30 megawatt CleanPowerSF start up without reversing course for weeks to re-examine its business plan.

Close: We need to get CleanPowerSF started *now*! Enough delays! Please make sure all approvals for CleanPowerSF are passed *on schedule* in October!
