Sign a petition by Thursday to make history for solar power in California! Support the California Energy Commission's decision to choose solar power over fossil fuels!

Dear sharon, We need your help to stand up for clean energy in California! Last month, the California Energy Commission set a historic precedent for solar power in California - sign a petition today at www.pacificenvironment.org/solar to ensure the decision gets upheld! The Commission temporarily denied the permit for a fossil fuel power plant in Chula Vista on the grounds that the company, MMC, did not fully consider  the potential of locally sited solar power. This is the first time a government agency in California has concluded that solar power is a viable option over fossil fuel power. On Monday, April 13, the California Energy Commission is set to make a final decision, and they are under pressure to reverse their previous denial of the plant. Please back up the Commission's proposed decision by signing our petition at www.pacificenvironment.org/solar by the end of the day this Thursday, and we will send it to them in time for the Monday hearing. Thank you!
