San Diego Smart Energy Solutions Campaign

Greetings,

 

Please Write A Letter to the Editor! 

Thank Commissioner Dian Grueneich for Doing the Right Thing by Delaying the Sunrise Powerlink Proceedings!

Thank you again for attending our Organizing Meeting on Tuesday night. One of the exciting things about the Sierra Club is our ability to come together as regular people to accomplish big goals by doing small things at the Grassroots level. With your help, we will do just that to defeat the Sunrise Powerlink and bring smarter energy alternatives to San Diego!

As a member of the Letter to the Editor "Rapid Response Team," you will be the front line in our media strategy to influence elected officials, shape media coverage and inform our friends and neighbors. I would like to tell you about your first big opportunity to make a difference.

This past Monday, the San Diego Union-Tribune and The North County Times published articles announcing California Public Utilities Commissioner Dian Grueneich's decision to delay the Sunrise Powerlink proceedings, because SDG&E intentionally withheld crucial information about the Sunrise Powerlink project. This was a wise move by Commissioner Grueneich and she deserves our thanks!

Can you write a letter to the editor of the San Diego Union Tribune and The North County Times? 

Letters to the Editor guidelines are as follows:

*Limited to 200 words

*Must include (1) full name, (2) address and (3) phone number

 

SEND A LETTER TO THE EDITOR TODAY TO THANK COMMISSIONER GRUENEICH!

To send a letter to the editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune, email letters@uniontrib.com. To send a letter to the editor of the North County Times, email letters@nctimes.com. 

Here are sample LETTER TO THE EDITOR talking points:

1. Thank CPUC Commissioner Dian Grueneich for doing the right thing by delaying the Sunrise Powerlink proceedings.

2. Emphasize that San Diego needs smart, local, renewable energy solutions. Sunrise Powerlink is not the right choice for ratepayers, local communitied or the environment.

3. State that Sunrise Powerlink sets a terrible precedent by allowing a high voltage transmission line to slice through a State Park (Anza-Borrego Desert State Park) and protected wilderness areas for the first time in California's history.

After you send your letter to the editor, please email me a copy at mmitrosky@sierraclubsandiego.org. Thanks again for rolling up your sleeves to get involved in the fight to save Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, protected wilderness areas and the backyards of local communities from this terrible and unnecessary project!

Best,

Micah
