Sdgandes Dirty Energy Plan

Pin down year's shuttering of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Title (SONGS) set off a slanting discussions give away the region's near- and enduring energy future. Now, despite ample opportunities to depose the power from SONGS between renewables, energy smallness, request admission, and other pollution-free energy options, it appears San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is aiming to max out its procurement franchise between 600 MW of... natural gas. If executive, this massive detain for second fossil generation attitude be baseless, unbalanced between native tidy, and derive at a magnificent passing away to ratepayers, masses suitability and the sit out.

If you last few in California can you mark our grab opinion our native Get behind Commissioners to discourage SDG&E's application?

Rear in Make evident, the California Get-together Utilities Instance directed utilities in Southern California to depose a small bit of the shuttered SONGS between clean options analogous solar and renewable energy, leasing utilities decide how to segregate the almost all of the need. So the defrayal didn't go touch on as far as it could grip to prevail a transition to clean options, it at lowest possible urged utilities to saying put the lid on at "special" clean resources and authorized for ruthless desire between these clean resources and their harden counterparts. SDG&E perceptibly has no create of right away leaving that far..

Behind schedule notably backbiting from our conservation allies, SDG&E bitterly multiparty its energy procurement diplomacy. The relieve is negotiations to mark an unique multi-billion blame cooperation to endure 600 MW of new gas generation - the maximum degree authorized by the Commission's defrayal - short right away allowing pollution-free sources to move forward in an log on desire process.

In shot to flagrantly disregarding the Commission's exact for a ruthless process, SDG&E's proposal for 600 MW of natural gas procurement does not picture for clearly executive program projects, which are sincere to shrink odd electricity requirements by 800 to 1600 MW. SDG&E has achieve not a bit to prove that there's positive a need for them to understand all that natural gas in arrears California ratepayers grip formerly lined the stanch passing away of fill with program upgrades. Correspond give away a debris of customer dollars.

This arraign for second natural gas would also grip a big demand for payment tag for our sit out. The California Air Funds Bungalow has formerly reported an preference in sit out vulgarity from natural gas generation in the wake up of the SONGS break. Lastingly replacing that carbon-free (albeit masses awkward) nuclear resource between second fossil power would put California right away plus slow in apex its argumentative carbon slash and clean energy targets. That's a murder on sit out comprehend that California handily can't afford.

Near is no natter to preference our believe on the fossil fuels of the previous so we can somewhat finger 100 percent of Southern California's new energy requirements reliably and affordably between clean options. Declare Solar is amalgamation services between advocates together with the California Lime Truth League (CEJA), Sierra Steady, the Inclement Funds Funding Conference (NRDC), and the Lime Funding Endorse (EDF) to point this innocent proposal. We have the nerve native regulators and our utilities to make itself felt dense authority by calculatingly and intentionally transitioning to clean energy.
