In fact, they're stupid and poisonous, and we hope are just a really bad relic of the 20th century like much of what we're seeing with our federal government at the moment. What I want to see is a beautifully designed set of solar panels on every rooftop on Potrero Hill, where the sun shines all year long, and less dumb reactionaries who cling to the less charming details of the way things used to be.

There was no power "shortage" only greed on behalf of those who manipulated its supply. Californians want and deserve cleaner, cheaper and better power that they have the right to control.

Any alternative way to be heard on this if you can make it in person? It is so incredibly frustrating that these are scheduled during the day when people have to work.

We don't need the 3 CT's AND the Potrero Hill Power Plant.

The RWQCB has options availiable to them to help reduce the needless destruction of our bay habitat. The voice of the concerned citizens need to be heard at this meeting. Come and show your support. Together we can help to close this unnecessary and destructive plant in our backyard. This proposed permit is the worst possible scenario for our bay.
