The Calif Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a forum in San Diego. ALL SAN DIEGANS ARE URGED TO ATTEND.
HELD AT: Al Bahr Temple/Shriner's Auditorium: 5440 Kearny Mesa Rd., SD, 92111 (map on attached flyer) Located between 805 and 15. South of 52. Just West of 163.
Located behind Hampton Inn Hotel. Parking is free. Carpool if possible!
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.
