I have
exciting news to share about our 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, destructive Sunrise Powerlink
proposal!
Today, the
San Diego Union-Tribune's Opinion Page featured
a powerful Op-Ed Piece by State Assembly Member Lori
Saldaña and San Diego City Council Member Donna Frye.
They highlighted our region's vulnerability in relying on
imported power over long distances, and called for increased
local, renewable power as the "smarter choice" for San Diego's
energy future.
These two Public Leaders have hit the nail on the head.
Sunrise Powerlink leads us down the risky path of imported,
fossil-fueled power that increases global warming. On the other
hand, our plan San Diego Smart Energy 2020, offers a
practical roadmap to boost clean, reliable, local power.
Can you do your part to
protect our park, forest and local communities from the proposed
Sunrise Powerlink by writing a letter to the Editor
of the Union-Tribune? This simple, effective action
demonstrates to other community leaders that you support
Assembly Member Lori Saldaña's and City Council
Member Donna Frye's smart energy vision.
Helpful tips, contact information
and talking points are outlined below.
THANK OUR LOCAL LEADERS: WRITE A LETTER TO
THE EDITOR!
WHO: letters@uniontrib.com
WHAT: Letters must be less than 150 words
and include full name, address and phone number.
TALKING POINTS:
- Hats off to Assembly Member Lori Saldaña and City
Council Member Donna Frye for their bold leadership in
supporting a smart energy future for our region.
- Sunrise Powerlink promises to deliver imported,
fossil-fueled power, and is a bad deal for San Diego
ratepayers. Experts have shown we don't need this
boondoggle.
- San Diego Smart Energy 2020 offers an affordable
roadmap to boosting reliable, local, renewable power. It is a
diverse mix of solutions consistent with the
state's outline for energy planning.
- San Diego Smart Energy 2020 creates "Green Collar
Jobs" for our region, diversifying our economy.
- The safe, sensible approach for regional energy planning is
to increase local production, not build more risky transmission
lines.
After you send your letter to the Editor, feel free to email
your letter to me in a SEPARATE email at mmitrosky@sierraclubsandiego.org.

Micah
