Update March 15:  The EBCE board meeting is still happening, but they have included a teleconferencing option in the light of COVID19.  This is a great opportunity to give comment online and watch the board meeting remotely.  They will not be voting at this meeting, at this point they are saying they will vote in April, of course things are constantly changing.  We are encouraging everyone to speak during public comment at the beginning of the meeting (#3 on the agenda https://ebce.org/wp-content/uploads/EBCE_BOD_Agenda_3.18.20.pdf).

I am asking you to RSVP in advance + sign up to speak during public comment to demand a nuclear free EBCE. I will share names, city and zip with the EBCE clerk.

Background:
Alameda County's own public electricity agency, East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) is considering accepting PG&E's dangerous nuclear energy into its power mix. Community Choice programs in California were created to give the public the power to choose where their electricity comes from and what kind of energy it is (under California Assembly Bill 117 in 2002). In the East Bay—Alameda County, the community effort led by the East Bay Clean Power Alliance has been to advocate for local clean energy through EBCE, with an emphasis on creating clean energy jobs, community wealth, affordability, less remote transmission and fighting climate change with equity at the center. Currently  there is no nuclear in EBCE’s mix, let's keep it that way.
