“By implementing the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) plan, San Francisco will become a model of green energy for the nation and protect city residents from the rate spikes and black-outs that occurred in 2001.”
– Tom Ammiano, San Francisco Supervisor and CCA co-sponsor

“As long as this nation is disproportionately reliant on oil and fossil fuels, we stand vulnerable. San Francisco needs to mount a smart, energetic counterattack to protect our environment, safeguard against energy market fiascoes, and put the utility customer’s wellbeing first. We do this by empowering the public with Community Choice.”
– Ross Mirkarimi, San Francisco Supervisor and CCA co-sponsor

“This is indeed the Hoover Dam of Solar for the climate crisis; building 360 Megawatts of renewable energy in a single city in just a few years will create the largest urban green power network in the world, repowering half of the community’s energy demand and delivering the solar-hydrogen economy in just a few years – without so much as a rate increase – tripling the increase in green power required y state law – a 51% retrofit of the same power system that now causes 25% of the local greenhouse gases, replacing an obsolete system virtually overnight. Who needs nuclear?”
– Paul Fenn, Executive Director, Local Power

“Greenpeace is proud to be a part of this groundbreaking energy initiative because we are committed to addressing the urgency of global warming with concrete solutions that make sense to San Francisco residents. By implementing Community Choice, San Francisco will not only become a national model, but a world leader in clean energy. It’s a breath of fresh air.”
– Samantha Rogers, Greenpeace Clean Energy Campaigner

“Community Choice Aggregation is a substantial plan to build a renewable energy network aimed to greatly expand clean energy and energy efficiency, improve price stability, reduce our dependence on fossil fuel, and avoid blackouts, utility bail outs and skyrocketing utility rates.“
– Bruce Wolfe, Sierra Club

“With unacceptable fossil fuel wars underway in Iraq and looming in Iran, and amidst alarming, unexpected increases in global warming impacts, Community Choice will be a crucial victory for our community and the planet.”
– Eric Brooks, Coordinator, Our City

“No more can we stand by the current energy system that is shipping our friends to war in Iraq, is causing families to drown in New Orleans, and is risking a nuclear energy leak that will poison our children’s food for 10,000 years. Community Choice is a dramatic and pragmatic way to secure safe and renewable energy and thereby secure our life sustaining resources for generations to come.”
– Aliza Wasserman, Green Guerrillas Against Greenwash
