Re: “Voices of Dreamers”
My goodness, this is the best story I have read in a long time. It was sent to me via the SRJC website which I am a member of. I will post this on SRJC Human Services Network to get the word out. Keep dreaming.
Re: “The Final Four”
And I'd love it if PG&E were on this list, to weigh these companies fairly, and if Bohemian asked Sonoma Clean Power to talk about what it's like to try to buy cleaner power with a cheaper price in a market known for being dirty in general -- we as citizens just didn't push hard enough to demand a nation-wide clean energy supply, so now we're stuck with playing in the dirty muck of the energy market as it is.

I'm down in Long Beach and I'm starting to spread the word down here.
Re: “The Final Four”
I like this article and I love the fact that the Bohemian is investigating something so important to all of us, but I'd love it EVEN MORE if your reporter looked into the labor practices of each company. You can't be a GREEN ENERGY provider if you don't pay workers decent wages and benefits and give them a voice at work (especially in jobs like this where public safety is at risk- do you want a worker to have to choose between speaking up about shoddy safety standards or losing his or her job?) Workers rights standards should be a part of any criteria in picking a "Green Energy Partner"

Re: “The Final Four”
Yes, I too would like PG&E to be compared with the 4 companies being considered by SCE. I am shocked at the heavy involvement in nuclear and would never support that. And i grew up in NYC with ConEd, which I associate with belching smokestacks. I suspect that PG&E might look angelic in a comparison with Con Ed. Although I spoke last night in favor of Petalumans having some choice, what I have read here is looking like "out of the frying pan and into the fire." I am concerned and would like to hear what Sonoma Clean Energy has to say about the advantages of going with their plan.
