Pge. That is just ridiculous and think pge alleys putting this forward should think about what it makes them look to the public. Let me get to the other important aspect of the ordinance ballot measure and that schnookler issue. I have done work on clean power sf for 11 year jz a big part is knocking on door squz calling people on the phone and i explained this to thousands of people and the number 1 comment and get from people i have to convince is, i got the thing from pge and see in their advertising that they are the greenest utility in the country because they have over 50 percent Green House Gas free electricity. The reason that pge is able to get away with that is they claim Nuclear Power is Green House Gas free and clean. Green house gas free it isnt true.

The category 3 are sort of the most liquid, they are the most easily traded. It doesnt have to be a out of
Under sickz 3 of that porz thf code, what are some of the other categories that would fall under that . For example one of my concernicize potentially we can go outside california, we could obtain power that is potentially not clean and green so wonder if puc or [inaudible] can speak to that issue because i think is valid one the Initiative Measure was trying to address. Im happy to take a stab at that. So, under california state rules and the code that you cited the state created 3 sort of buckets or categories, we call buckets or proctcontunt categories. The first categories is a bundled Renewable Energy product. That means the purchases of the Renewable Energy acquired the energy with a Renewable Energy cred squt the underlying electricity prior to the generation of that electricity. It means the electricity was dlinch today the state of california. It doesnt mean the resource is located in the state, it could be located on the boarder, but under the law of category one resource has
