This forum matters to all San Diegans and this is why:  

Strong public support is needed to urge the CPUC to uphold their Proposed Decision regarding 3 UN-NEEDED power plants in San Diego County.

The Proposed Decision, if adopted, can prevent the emission of over 900,000 annual tons of greenhouse gases by denying purchase power tolling agreements.   The most significant of these plants are Pio Pico, estimated to release 685,000 annual tons of GHGs and Quail Brush with over 200 annual tons.   

SAN DIEGANS would be saddled with at least $1.2 billion in construction and finance costs for Pio Pico and Quail Brush in exchange for  23 permanent jobs, while in contrast, a San Diego Energy District plan to accelerate the adoption of distributed roof top solar can create thousands of clean energy jobs that keep funds circulating locally.

The energy industry is lobbying heavily to get the CPUC Proposed Decision reversed.

San Diego, it's  TIME TO STAND UNITED,  THIS FRIDAY, FEB 1, 2013 at 6 PM.    Join the Rally at 5:15!

STAY UPDATED and KEEP THE COMMENTS ROLLING IN TO THE CPUC!   INFO AT:
