Veronica --
Our first round of emails
worked! After many people voiced their concerns, the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) postponed a decision on
resolution E-4907 until February 8th! Thank you!!
However, the CPUC appears to be
fast-tracking this resolution by placing it on the "consent calendar"
for Feb. 8th! If passed, E-4907 would result in longer wait
times for new Community Choice Energy/Aggregations (CCAs),
which is unreasonable and unfair to new regions launching CCAs,
including Orange County, Milpitas, and other cities.
If you could send an email to the CPUC
by February 7th, it would send a strong message to
them to put the public interest first. They already postponed
the vote once due to public input, let's make sure this doesn't
pass!
Here is a sample text for your email—fill in your city and feel
free to personalize:
To: public....@cpuc.ca.gov
Subject: Forward to all CPUC
Commissioners: Retract Resolution E-4907
Dear CPUC Commissioners:
As a ratepayer and resident of ____, I
ask that you retract Resolution E-4907.
This unwarranted overreach on the
Community Choice process would cause unnecessary delays to new
Community Choice programs, resulting in lost revenue for cities and
delaying consumer choice.
More and more cities across California
are choosing Community Choice energy. Will you respect the
will of the people and uphold our right to choose without
interference or delay?
Thank you,
[Your Name]
Please forward this email to your network and urge others
to send letters, too. It takes a village!
And if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, it would be awesome
if you could attend
a rally and press conference at CPUC headquarters in San Francisco
on Feb. 8th, the day of the vote.
A quick update on our progress in other areas:
Our Tustin team is working with the Foothill
Communities Association (representing 10,000 homes in North Tustin) to
ask OC Supervisor Todd Spitzer to initiate a CCA study at the county
level. And Irvine just released their RFP for a CCA feasibility study.
The ball is rolling!
Our San Jose team is mobilizing support for Senate
Bill 100, which would fast-track California's transition to 100% clean
energy. They recently co-sponsored a town hall with Assembly Members
Marc Berman and Evan Low focusing on climate legislation, and were
thrilled when Asm Berman announced that he will vote for SB 100 in its
current form!
Finally, we would welcome your support of our
dedicated volunteers by becoming
a member of Mothers Out Front. The more members we have, the more
power we have. Will you join us to show that mothers defending their
children's right to a safe planet are a force to be reckoned with?
Thank you!
