Writer supports Supervisors’ vote for renewable energy study
Dear Editor:
Last Tuesday, (October 13) when the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to pursue a study on Community Choice Energy (CCE), I was proud to state that my city – San Pablo — has already chosen to allow our residents and businesses to receive 50% or more renewable clean energy over dirty energy. It’s rewarding to know that I am lowering greenhouse gas emissions and also by me paying my utility bill it contributes to building the 10.5 MW Solar farm located in Richmond which is on a brownfield site and will be built by local union workers. It provides more local green jobs as well as clean air and health.
I hope the folks in Conta Costa will tell their leaders to support CCE so our supervisors can proceed without delay.

In other words, if you like paying even more for electricity, then “go green” 🙁
