Ask your state representatives to support renewable energy by 2020.

To: The Governor and Your State Senate

Support Clean Renewable Energy Today!

A solid commitment to renewable energy will improve air quality, especially in low-income communities of color that today breathes the pollution from nearby power plants. It will also help our economy by moving us away from fossil fuels, which fluctuate in price and will likely become more expensive in the future, and by creating good green collar jobs.

Please take a minute now to write Gov. Schwarzenegger, and your state Assembly and Senate representatives, urging them to pass SB 14 and AB 64, setting our renewable electricity standard at 33% by 2020.

Support Clean Renewable Energy Today!

Dear Representative,

As the renewable energy bills move through the legislative process, please make sure they include these provisions:

- An unwavering floor of 33% by 2020, applying to all utilities in the state.

- A definition of "renewable energy" that doesn't include technologies that can inflict environmental damage, such as large hydroelectric dams or trash incinerators.

- Strong enforcement provisions that don't allow delays in the 33% by 2020 mandate.

- No loopholes, no vague escape clauses such as "good faith" or "commercially reasonable efforts," and no "alternative compliance payments."

- Priority to in-state and local renewable energy generation.

- A feed-in-tariff program with standard 20-year-plus Green Energy contracts that guarantee reasonable cost recovery plus profit for anyone selling renewable power to utilities.

- Preserve local permitting authority over renewable power plants and encourage the use of existing transmission rights of way whenever possible.

- Provide green jobs and foster healthy economic development in our state, fairly shared with low-income and/or environmentally damaged communities.

I'm counting on you to help save our planet from the harm of global warming, and to uphold the California tradition of setting an excellent environmental example for our country and the world.
