Help Stop PG&E's Attack On California's Local Clean Energy Projects

PG&E has begun a statewide ballot campaign as the latest and most vicious of its ongoing unlawful attacks on California's Community Choice renewable energy projects which are poised to shift scores of California cities to high percentages of local clean energy production.

These community projects challenge PG&E's monopoly and its profits from selling electricity generated almost entirely from fossil and nuclear fuel. PG&E's energy mix is less than 10% renewable; a percentage so low that it violates state mandates.

PG&E has spent tens of millions of dollars on deceptive and unlawful smear campaigns in Davis, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, San Joaquin, Marin County, and San Francisco, to weaken, and in some cases completely kill, local shifts to clean community generated electricity. Now PG&E is attacking every community in the state at once with an alarming new ballot measure.

Outrageously called the 'Taxpayers Right To Vote Act' the measure would force any California city or county to win a two thirds public vote before  beginning a Community Choice project, even though these projects pay for themselves with revenues and savings from renewables and efficiency, and so do not require any tax increases whatsoever.

Two thirds vote requirements have devastated California and its local economies by allowing corporations and right wing conservatives to completely paralyze our public process. Now PG&E wants to force every California community to hold a similar two thirds vote in order to switch to clean energy!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Refuse to sign PG&E's deceptive 'Right To Vote Act' petition, and email this web address http://our-city.org/campaigns/index.html to every Californian you know, so that they too will be aware of this dire new threat to the clean energy movement.
