Marin Clean Energy Politics

In July, Al Gore challenged us to reset the way we make our energy choices.

He challenged us to generate 100% of our electricity from sources that do not lead to global warming -- and to do it within 10 years.  Meeting this ambitious goal would create millions of new jobs, lead to permanently lower energy costs for families and help America lead the fight against global warming.  

PG&E has been making overtures about providing Marin with all-green power as part of a pilot program just as Marin city councils and supervisors are due to vote on whether to form the JPA for MCE.

PG&E previously indicated it couldn't start a Marin-only service, but its tune has changed and its high-powered consultants, former Supervisor Gary Giacomini and former Assemblyman Joe Nation, have been quietly pitching the idea to local officials.
