Governor Brown: Protect Our Homes and Families from Pipeline Explosions & Nuclear Meltdown

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

PG&E has replaced its CEO and key executives since 1) the pipeline explosion that killed eight people and destroyed a neighborhood in San Bruno, and 2) the recent exposure of emails which revealed a cozy culture of collusion between PG&E and the agency which is supposed to regulate it, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).

There has not been a similar housecleaning at the PUC. Michael Peevey, the former utility company executive who has headed the PUC during all this time, is protecting PG&E, not the public. Replace him.

Why is this important?

PG&E took money which was supposed to upgrade their gas pipelines and used it on executive pay and profits, resulting in the explosion which killed eight people and destroyed a neighborhood in San Bruno. And recently, emails have surfaced which reveal a cozy culture of collusion between PG&E and the agency which is supposed to regulate it, the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).

On top of that, both PG&E and the California PUC seem to be ignoring the recent report from Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspector Dr. Michael Peck, calling attention to newly-discovered earthquake faults near PG&E’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant which could result in a meltdown similar to Fukushima, Japan, and deadly radioactive fallout across America.

You will be sending a message to Peevey and Gov. Brown by signing the petition, and you can also give them your individual comments as you sign.
