Neighborhood Solar Power

[SHRED]

Imagine two different pictures to characterize our energy choice. The one we have now is reliance on importing energy into neighborhoods, sometimes from hundreds of miles away, while we export dollars and jobs. The other picture is to generate energy from within our neighborhoods from homes, apartments, businesses, covering parking lots and other developed lands, literally pushing energy out from within along the powerlines located on our public right of way while importing and capturing dollars and jobs.

1. K/R, more: Your LA friends get 39% from out of state, dirty coal fired power plants.

Meanwhile, Sempra SDGE is mostly natural gas, like most of the rest of California.

3. The times, they are a-changin'.

"Today, after a three-year campaign by tens of thousands across the city, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa joined our L.A. Beyond Coal activists to publicly announce this blockbuster news: L.A. will stop using coal by 2025.

"The era of coal is over," said Mayor Villaraigosa, when he first broke the news earlier this week. Villaraigosa was joined by Al Gore, Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune, California businessman Tom Steyer, and allies from across the city on March 22 to make the announcement.

This is a groundbreaking decision, a historic victory that catapults LA and Villaraigosa to the front of the pack when it comes to clean energy and American innovation. By going coal free, the city is showing the rest of the nation that it's possible to power a thriving, growing, major American city without relying on coal that threatens our the health of our families, and the future of our planet."
