Tell GE and Mitsubishi NO to Fossil Fuels, YES to Solar and Wind Energy

Behind our backs, the Air Quality Mgt Dist and State and Local Officials in the sun-drenched, wind-swept Palm Springs area have sold the health and well-being of its hundreds of thousands of residents to GE and Mitsubishi for $53 million, for the privilege of building Sentinel, a natural gas-burning power plant that will spew four times the legal amount of known carcinogens into the air, thus exacerbating climate change and global warming, and contaminating our fertile soil, our drinking water, the air we breathe. [CA Energy Commission, 2011, 478-pp report] We refuse to allow this to happen. This area has ideal conditions to place us #1 in the world for solar- and wind-produced energy. To that end, GE and Mitsubishi must spend their $100 millions to replace Sentinel with the most technologically advanced, state of the art solar- and wind-energy producing facilities!
