Action of the Month
August 2004
The Bay Area is on the threshold of building the largest Solar Power network in the country. Voters overwhelmingly passed Propositions B and H, which allow the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to use the city's buying power and low-interest financing to make Solar Power and other clean energy technologies affordable and available to the residents and businesses of San Francisco.
Now, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission needs to hear from you to take the next step in implementing Propositions B and H, keeping San Francisco, the Bay Area, and the country on the right track to cleaner, more independent energy.
Write to S.F. Public Utilities Commission President, Dennis Normandy, and ask him to make implementation of Propositions B and H a priority.

Write Director Sorensen and urge him to save the last remaining San Antonio Elk herd and conduct further environmental review of the project before extending the Calveras Road into the Apperson Ridge.
