San Francisco's Greenies now close a back-up power plant if PG & E somehow fails.

Oh, and there are 64 lifetime, unionized city workers in the Department of the Environment. Who knew?

The keyword "sustainable" continues to crop up with the Progressives (Marxists) which mean we need to be riding trains, bicycles or walking from our small government-subsidized apartment (LEEDS-certified) to our unionized, eternal government job...with ObamaCare and Michelle's salad bars, things will be great!

Now, the next step will be the removal of the Hech-Hechi dam and the restoration of that lost, pristine wilderness.

SF doesn't need that water, anyway!

” Many residents there suffer from disproportionately high rates of cancer, asthma and other health problems.”

Of course there is no evidence that a powerplant has anything to do with this.

I hope the lights go out in San Francisco. No power to water pumps and sewage plants as well. Let the city stew in its own refuse, it’s all for the sake of being green. The Greenies truly believe that “Humanity is a virus infecting the Earth Mother Goddess Gaia”, so why don’t they do a Jonestown? Jim Jones originally set of shop in San Francisco.

“dirtiest”?

When did push-templates become fact?

This insanity has spread north to the Klamath River Dams

It all works great until THX1137 falls asleep on the job and drops the pellet of nuclear fuel...

More Soma please?

Not realistic but wouldn't be fun to switch the power off and then back on to SF? Ooops, tripped over a power cord, no back up power.... sorry. :(

Won't be fun for them when they can't charge their electric cars and get to work. When they complain, tell them to use their bikes.

Unfortunately, it will be too late when it really happens. And they be complaining about how the power companies are ripping them off. Remember the rolling brownouts? Obviously, they don't.

I moving to SF to open a home treadmill power generator store.

[Iron Munro]

[Jack Hydrazine]

I wonder what they are going to do when they have brown outs and black outs? Throw a party?

[ataDude]

My vote is to remove CA from the multi-state electrical grid and let them be “self-sufficient”.

A$$hats.

"People have waited a generation for this," Mayor Gavin Newsom told The Chronicle. "Perhaps this is the real tipping point in moving from our industrial past to a more sustainable future. I really do think this marks, formally, that shift."

Your not going to have a very sustainable future if you keep shutting down power plants with out building new ones.

The future I see for you is cold and dark in the winter and hot and dry in the summer. (Yeh I know SF is cold in the summer.)
