San Francisco shutting down power plant Jan. 1 (Green de-development continues)

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?

[wac3rd]

I was going to post the obvious Liberal slant in the article that makes the casual reader say, “See, it was hurting those poor, poor people, it’s good we shut it down. The paper says it was making people sick (see Harry Reid) and it’s bad for the environment.”

The premise is a lie, the reason is faulty and the outcomes are uncertain, at best, but keep repeating the same obvious falsehoods, it becomes truth. Goebbels is here.

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

More Soma please?

There’s a sweet photo of Jim Jones, Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown and Harvey Milk...not to mention Diane Fenistein, George Moscone, Willie Brown and Roselyn Carter, the First Lady praising the Rev. Jones.

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.

[HereInTheHeartland]

This area is close to Hunters Point which of course would have low income residents and the corresponding health issues of the inner city.
But the article doesn't mention that!

[wac3rd]

Of course not, it would be too realistic for the Marxist lies perpetrated daily by the dying Commie rag, the SF Chronicle.

[Jack Hydrazine]

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

[Irenic]

San Antonio, Texas plans to shutter two power plants by 2020.

It’s the 20/20/20 by 2020 UN/EU plan.

America chooses to go the same road as Rome, except it will be a green road....

[ataDude]

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

A$$hats.
