Materialize under ms. Malcolm so she deserves a lot of credit. So, the main thing i wanted to do is clear up a major misconception that im seeing this evening that will help you understand what were talking about with Renewable Energy credits, with the shell contract, and how were going to get to the buildout, the Green New Deal and union labor. And you may know that im sure all of you got the sierra club letter that said we are going to insist that this program be anchored to maximize union labor through project labor agreements, et cetera. You should know that the entire Grassroots Coalition thats working for clean power sf also recently voted to adopt that same position. This must be a local jobs union Green New Deal project with thousands of jobs available. The misconception that i want to make sure that we correct here is the idea that the shell program, the shell contract is the program. It is not. The shell contract is 4 , less than 4 of the energy that will end up being provide
End up being provided under clean power sf after the next decade goes by. The shell contract is just priming the water pump, if you remember the old water pumps. And the idea here is that we need to use the Renewable Energy credits to make it cheap enough to compete with pg e, to get that first small 30 megawatts out of the eventual hundreds of megawatts that were going to build locally so that we can kick start the program successfully and still compete with pg e. What was your type of concluding thought around . So, heres the deal. Ms. Malcolm is getting us half of the goal. The thing thats going to get us to the Green New Deal and make sure that it happens right away is to show that the vision that you all saw from local power of about a billion dollar project over the next 10 years, thats what brings us the Green New Deal and the union jobs, so show that that can happen. Sfpuc is making great progress and is starting to show hundreds of jobs. We can show thousands. And the key to t
Sfpuc is making great progress and is starting to show hundreds of jobs. We can show thousands. And the key to that is that the advocates community has called upon the local Agency Formation commission to create to hold a workshop, a financial workshop in which we will bring experts around california into the financial workshop to look at the local power work and show how that billion dollars over 10 years can happen. And what you can do as a commission that would help us more than anything else is send the communication to the local Agency Formation commission that you support the idea that works and would like the lafco to work very closely and cooperatively with the advocates to make sure that workshop is successful. Thank you. Thank you. ~ workshop next speaker. Could i just observe that im extraordinarily moved and impressed by eric burks comments. I remember sitting in the ground floor of the old sfe offices. Yes. In the dark. [laughter] on really uncomfortable chairs. I remember
Before that, it was a struggle with the sfpuc power enterprise to get the buildout on the table. Since ms. Malcolm showed up, weve got the rates down. Theyre going to be competitive with pg e, without which competitive rates, there would be no buildout because there would be no customers. Since ms. Malcolm came on board, much more of the local power analysis that you saw in a presentation a couple months ago from local power that shows how we can get thousands of jobs within the next ten years building hundreds of local renewables in efficiency, much more of that vision although not all of it has struggled to materialize under ms. Malcolm so she deserves a lot of credit. So, the main thing i wanted to do is clear up a major misconception that im seeing this evening that will help you understand what were talking about with Renewable Energy credits, with the shell contract, and how were going to get to the buildout, the Green New Deal and union labor.
