Everyone, I am asking you to support the legislation mentioned below. The more renewable energy we produce in the Agriculture Industry the less need or demand there will be to build solar fields and wind farms on public lands.   California needs additional energy resources and it is my opinion that Agriculture based renewable energy and roof-top solar are our best and most efficient options. In addition, these options do not effect public access! We simply cannot afford to lose anymore recreational opportunities in California.   Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting the efforts of State Senator Rubio.   Kind Regards,   Steve Koretoff On Apr 19, 2012, at 5:02 PM, "Roger Isom" <ro...@ccgga.org> wrote: Steve,   Do you think any of the groups you work with would be willing to sign on to this?  I think this fits your earlier efforts on operations like Dixon Ridge.  Both WAPA and our cotton organization have signed on, and sent letters. If so, please have them send a letter of support (sample attached) or call me or Beth Olhasso at AECA.    Thanks,   Roger     From: Beth Olhasso [mailto:bolh...@dolphingroup.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 5:27 PM To: ro...@ccgga.org Subject: FW: Urgent-- Support Needed   Roger- I meant to CC you on this e-mail so you know what’s going on.   Thanks!   From: Beth Olhasso [mailto:bolh...@dolphingroup.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 5:25 PM To: 'tri...@agcouncil.org'; 'lbr...@kscsacramento.com'; 'dpu...@wga.com'; 'Mills Karen'; 'dalb...@caladvocates.com'; 'ga...@garyconover.com'; 'ke...@milkproducers.org'; 'bill_...@yahoo.com'; 'pau...@callatg.com'; 'tschm...@wineinstitute.org'; 'ch...@cgfa.org' Subject: Urgent-- Support Needed   Senate Bill 1122 (Rubio) was amended yesterday to create a dedicated 250 MW bioenergy program in California . Under the program, California ’s investor owned utilities would be required to purchase power from agricultural and urban biogas and biomass projects, ensuring the establishment of a commercial bioenergy market here in California .   The measure will be heard next week (4/24) in Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications.  Please get letters of support to the committee ASAP. We are working with V. John White and the Clean Coalition on this important measure and would greatly appreciate your support.  A brief summary of the legislation and a draft letter are attached for your use.
