Stop A Fossil Fuel Power Plant
From Being Built In San Francisco
This is a critical moment in the fight to halt global warming.
In the next month, the Board of Supervisors will vote on a deeply misguided plan to build a polluting natural gas power plant in San Francisco that will emit toxins and CO2 for 18-30 years!
But the Board is wavering and might not vote down this terrible proposal.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Mayor Newsom was in New York City recently attending a 'Green Cities' conference, and has just returned. The Board of Supervisors is so closely divided on the power plant vote that the Mayor could tip the scales and stop the plant by taking a strong stand against it.
Call Mayor Newsom's Office of Neighborhood Services today at:
415-554-7111
(if you get voice mail, leave recorded remarks - if you have trouble connecting, call San Francisco's 311 line and ask to leave a comment for the Mayor)
Leave him the following message:
"Mayor Newsom, please declare to the world that San Francisco will no longer burn fossil fuel for electricity, that you oppose the combustion turbine peaker project, and that the City will close the existing Mirant power plant by 2010, relying only on renewable energy, efficiency, and the Transbay Cable."
Let's flood the Mayor's office and voice mail box with -thousands- of comments so that he knows exactly what to do to make San Francisco a Green City!
THEN: Email the Board of Supervisors
Once you have called the Mayor, take one more moment to send the following email message to the Board of Supervisors at:
board.of.supervisors@sfgov.org
Dear Supervisor,
Please be a global environmental champion and vote 'NO' on the ICC combustion turbine peaker project. Then call for a 2008 Energy Action Plan to close the existing Mirant power plant by 2010, relying only on renewable energy, efficiency, and the Transbay Cable.
Thank You!
