    San Francisco now has a historic opportunity to switch to a clean, renewable energy future...


    Clean Energy
    Proposition H, the Clean Energy Act, will ensure San Francisco will implement enough solar, wind power, and conservation projects, to give the City 100% clean electricity within just three decades. Greenhouse gasses from our energy supply are the greatest source of carbon emissions on the planet. The time to go clean is now.

    Leadership on Climate Crisis
    New evidence shows polar ice caps are melting much more quickly than expected, we are experiencing astounding record temperatures, out of control drought, rampant wildfires, and extreme weather disasters. Yet in the face of these dire warnings, fossil fuel energy corporations, and our federal government, still refuse to take significant action. It's time for our local community to show leadership on the global climate crisis. Proposition H will enable San Francisco to be responsible for our own energy future and address the climate crisis immediately.

    Green Jobs & Healthy Economy
    The Clean Energy Act will make San Francisco the hub of a booming new clean energy economy and generate thousands of new jobs for San Francisco. Proposition H will establish a Green Jobs workforce development plan to train and employ the workforce that will build the renewable energy infrastructure for San Francisco. Proposition H will get us off the rollercoaster of volatile natural gas prices and bring us reliable clean energy at stable and reasonable rates. Now is the time to usher in the Green Economy in San Francisco.

    Become a part of the clean energy future... Vote YES on Proposition H!

    As an international human rights organization, Global Exchange recognizes the importance of access to clean, affordable and sustainable energy as a human right, necessary for the health and safety of local communities and for promoting responsible foreign policy. That's why Global Exchange is taking a leadership role in the effort to pass Proposition H in November 2008. We invite you to be a part of this effort.
