Fellow
Clean Energy Advocates,
 The worsening crisis
in Japan underscores the catastophic
potential of nuclear power, especially
in unstable earthquake zones. Our hearts are with those
now suffering from this horrible
tragedy.
We must also take this
opportunity to speak out for real
solutions like local, clean, and safe
renewable energy, which is the focus
of our Second Annual
Clean Power, Healthy Communities
Conference, March 17-18.
This
conference will focus on the role
of local clean energy in
addressing the impacts of climate
change in the Bay Area, focusing
on sustainable development and
clean energy jobs, and on building
healthier, more resilient
communities.
Join us for the
Clean Power, Healthy
Communities Conference,
March 17-18
