Proposition 16

PG&E is spending $36 million (from our bills) to promote PROP 16 – ON THE JUNE 8TH BALLOT – which would amend the California Constitution to stamp out PG&E’s competition. Would you like to be able to choose affordable, clean energy for yourself and everyone else in your city or county who wants it? PROP 16 ELIMINATES YOUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE. It prevents anyone from following in the footsteps of Marin, which launches its historic clean energy program this May, offering twice as much renewable, solar and wind energy as the utility with no rate increase. Prop 16 hurts 20 non-profit city utilities in California that offer cleaner power and cheaper rates than PG&E. Learn about how Prop 16 is deceptively worded to promote its success and what you can do to help defeat this proposition.
