Yet Another Reason I Will My Heart to San Francisco

San Francisco has Prop H, San Francisco Clean Energy Act on the ballot this November 4, 2008. This bill will be a significant step towards sustainable energy sans fossil fuel dependence. And here in New York, I can't even get Con Ed to let me buy "green energy."

Proposition H, San Francisco Clean Energy Act submits to the voters on Nov 4, 2008 a ballot measure that amends the city and county charter to require the city to transition away from fossil fuels and towards 100% clean, sustainable energy production at affordable rates by 2040!

Prop H ensures clean energy mandates of:
-- 51% by 2017
-- 75% by 2030
-- 100% by 2040

CLEAN ENERGY:
The Clean Energy Act will ensure that San Francisco will build enough solar, wind power, and conservation projects to give the City 100% clean energy within just three decades. It will make San Francisco a worldwide leader in the fight against global warming and catastrophic climate change. Greenhouse gasses from our energy supply are the greatest source of carbon emissions on the planet. The time to go clean is now!

CLIMATE CRISIS:
The San Francisco Clean Energy Act is a strong response to global warming. Already the writing is on the wall: melting polar ice caps, record temperatures, extreme weather patterns. We are on an unsustainable collision course with nature that could lead to our ultimate destruction unless our generation acts quickly and decisively to change the course of history.

GREEN ECONOMY:
The San Francisco Clean Energy Act will make San Francisco the hub of the new green economy and generate thousands of jobs in the emerging clean energy industry. It requires a Green Jobs workforce development plan to train and employ workers building the City’s renewable energy infrastructure. Now is the time to usher in the Green Economy in San Francisco.
