After the most worthless two hours and twelve minutes of public comment, the San Francisco Democratic Party finally started voting as all the members had made up their minds to vote before the meeting started. There were plenty of other bloggers on hand to talk about all the sex workers and wannabe soldiers and weirdos who wasted so much time, so read them.  

Anyway, it is now the official position of the Democratic Party to support the San Francisco Clean Energy Act to switch to clean, renewable energy. Lots of applause. Democrats support clean energy!

From the San Francisco Clean Energy Act website:

CLEAN ENERGY

The Clean Energy Act will ensure that San Francisco will build enough solar, wind power, and conservation projects to give the City 100% clean energy within just three decades. It will make San Francisco a worldwide leader in the fight against global warming and catastrophic climate change. The greatest source of green house gasses on the planet is carbon emissions from our energy supply. The time to go clean is now.

CLIMATE CRISIS

The San Francisco Clean Energy Act is a strong response to global warming. Already the writing is on the wall: melting polar ice caps, record temperatures, extreme weather patterns. We are on an unsustainable collision course with nature that could lead to our ultimate destruction unless our generation acts quickly and decisively to change the course of history.

GREEN ECONOMY

The San Francisco Clean Energy Act will make San Francisco the hub of the new green economy and generate thousands of jobs in the emerging clean energy industry. It requires a Green Jobs workforce development plan to train and employ workers building the City’s renewable energy infrastructure. Now is the time to usher in the Green Economy in San Francisco.
