Hi Transpo Members, Here is the correctly dated full alert for the emergency clean energy hearing.. ALERT! Save San Francisco's Clean Energy Project! Attend Emergency Hearing Friday, March 6, 2pm SF City Hall, Room 250 Next Friday, March 6th, the San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) will vote on activating the Clean Power SF renewable energy project, which was passed in 2007 to give the City 50% clean electricity within the next decade. But alarmingly, the LAFCo is poised to let the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) delay and weaken the project, thereby killing large scale clean energy in San Francisco. We must demand that the LAFCo vote a strong Clean Power SF project forward immediately. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Attend the hearing, and speak at public comment, to insist that Clean Power SF move forward now! DIRECTIONS: To get to the hearing, go to the San Francisco Civic Center transit station at 8th and Market Streets and cross United Nations Plaza to City Hall (on Polk Street between Grove and McAllister). IF YOU CAN'T ATTEND THE HEARING: Call LAFCo chairperson Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi today at 415-554-7630 with the following message: "Please stop accepting the SFPUC's delays, and immediately hire, through the LAFCo, the best qualified lead contractor to rapidly complete a Request For Proposals for Clean Power SF." PUBLIC COMMENT TALKING POINTS: - The SFPUC has been delaying Clean Power SF for five years! Enough is enough! - Access to Obama administration clean energy stimulus funds could be lost if we don't act now! - There are new reports every day that the global climate crisis is becoming far worse, far more rapidly than scientists previously believed. We cannot wait one more day to begin this project! - Clean Power SF will become the largest municipal clean energy project on Earth, setting a strong example for the rest of the world to get serious about the climate crisis! - 48 other California communities are waiting for San Francisco to take the lead on clean energy, and as California goes, so goes the world. Starting this project now is critical to leading the entire planet to take rapid action to end the climate crisis! - During the current drastic economic crisis and budget cuts, Clean Power SF will create a green economy boom in San Francisco providing hundreds of desperately need jobs to this community!
