ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO CREATING GREEN POWER

The CCA being proposed for Marin County is one approach to the subject. Click here to view their proposal and related supporting documents.

However, their proposal does not seriously consider the other options that are being developed.

Other options that should be considered include:

PG&E does have a Green Power program plan. Click here to link to that plan.

The California PUC also has a solar initiative. Click here to link to that plan.

The California Energy Commission also has Green Power initiatives. Click here for the CEC home page and here for their page on their Energy Renewable Rebates Program.

Legislation to force PG&E to adopt Green Power more rapidly, such as only allowing certain types of new power to be added. (Note that the rate of conversion from existing plants to Green Power involves Buy Out penalties if it is more rapid than the amortization of existing plants. This is discussed further in the Costs section.)
