Greetings,
The past few weeks have been exciting for the Sierra Club's San Diego Smart Energy Solutions Campaign to defeat Sunrise Powerlink and save Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, The Cleveland National Forest and cherished backcountry communities from this unnecessary boondoggle! In late November, one of San Diego Gas & Electric's (SDG&E) partners, Imperial Irrigation District, withdrew support for the Sunrise Powerlink project, citing environmental and agricultural concerns about SDG&E's preferred route. Click HERE to read the story in the San Diego Union-Tribune. And just this week, The Voice of San Diego online news magazine hosted Bill Powers on its daily "Cafe San Diego" show to discuss viable alternatives to this harmful project. To read his insightful article, "Power to the People," please click HERE. Mr. Powers is an engineer and author of our visionary alternative to Sunrise Powerlink, "San Diego Smart Energy 2020: The 21st Century Solution." You can access the full report by clicking HERE, then click on "Full Report." Finally, we are gearing up for the release of the Sunrise Powerlink Environmental Impact Report, the primary environmental document for the decision-makers, in just a few weeks. There will be a key public comment period once this report is released, and we will need your help to send a message to Public Officials and the California Public Utilities Commission that Sunrise Powerlink is the wrong choice for San Diego. Once the report is released, we will of course keep you posted about upcoming Organizing Meetings, Critical Dates and Grassroots Opportunities, which are just around the corner! Best, Micah P.S. If you haven't done so, please click HERE to send a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger! If you have already sent one, click HERE to ask a friend to join our campaign!
