Utility companies are going to f*ck all of you.

For those of us living in San Francisco - we know that Proposition H (the SF Clean Energy Act) is one of the most hotly contested political fights in town. An amazing groundswell of support and endorsements for Prop H grow everyday - pulling in visionaries like Bill McKibben, the majority of our local Board of Supervisors (What SF calls our City Council), and a real grassroots outpouring. But our local utility (Pacific Gas and Electric) has already spent over $5 million dollars to defeat the initiative -employing dishonest messaging and misinformation on the issues, running dozens of TV ads, and hiring canvassers to put their misinformation on every door in the city.

But outside of SF - people are watching Prop H around the country as this is potentially the most courageous, bold, and precedent-setting piece of legislation addressing climate and energy crises ever.

What Proposition H does:

Ensure 51% renewable energy for San Francisco by 2017, 75% by 2030, and 100% by 2040
Generate thousands of good, Green Jobs locally
Let communities decide how they get their energy, and from whom
Lower consumer’s utility bills
Allow communities to reclaim energy infrastructure from greedy, corrupt utilities (like Pacific Gas and Electric) and place energy under community control
Set a precedent for what other communities can achieve (and several other nearby cities are already working on similar initiatives)

Prop H really is a game-changing move, and it has implications well beyond San Francisco. Learn more at the Yes on H website!
