Greetings,
Local Community Members Rally for Smart Energy
Alternatives Instead of Sempra Energy's Sunrise Powerlink
Proposal, a $9 Billion Extension Cord to
Fossil-Fuels
 |

Call the Governor's office
immediately during business hours at 916-445-2841 and ask
him to oppose the Sunrise
Powerlink! |
It's been an
exciting year for the San Diego Smart Energy Solutions Campaign
to protect Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the Cleveland
National Forest and local communities from SDG&E's
unnecessary, global warming Sunrise Powerlink proposal.
Now we're in the home stretch, with the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) expected to vote in a
matter of weeks and we need your
help!
The CPUC is set to vote in early December and they
have three options:
1. The Commissioners could support the Administrative
Law Judge's recommendation to deny SDG&E's
Sunrise Powerlink proposal, because the facts show we don't need
it, or
2. They could support Commissioner Grueneich's
recommendation that the line only be
approved if SDG&E makes a binding commitment that it
will carry substantial renewable energy, or
3. The Commissioners could ignore these
recommendations and vote to build Sunrise Powerlink as SDG&E
prefers: a harmful project that will worsen global
warming by importing electricity from coal and Sempra's
liquefied natural gas-fired power plants in Mexico.
The choice is clear: the CPUC should reject
SDG&E's Sunrise Powerlink proposal. We have smarter energy
alternatives.
This is our last chance to protect our
open spaces and local communities from the unnecessary Sunrise
Powerlink proposal and speak out for smarter energy
alternatives. Can you do your part by
calling Governor Schwarzenegger's office immediately during
business hours at 916-445-2841? Urge him to oppose Sunrise Powerlink because it
undermines his vision to reduce California's greenhouse gas
pollution.
And stay tuned in the coming weeks for updates and action
alerts as we near the final decision on this unnecessary
proposal.
Best,
Micah
