PG&E Power Grab (2 of 2) - Kriss Worthington, Berkeley City Councilor

At the 10-08-2009 Local Clean Energy Alliance meeting, Berkeley City Councilor Kriss Worthington spoke about the PG&E Power Grab. PG&E is the sole financier at this point of a ballot initiative to that will require local governments to get a 2/3 vote before they can use their revenue bond authority to finance local electricity generation. This affects Community Choice as well as Public Power communities. Kriss explains the initiative and why it is undemocratic. He also talks about signature gathering, getting free media, and how a grassroots movement could beat the initiative.
