“I would have loved to hear @POTUS say more about our future dependence on clean energy, so that we don’t have to rely on the dirty energy that put us in this climate crisis in the first place,” said me, the new @cejapower Energy Director

@mrtaruc says important to ask ourselves "How do we talk about energy and climate? Is the way we're talking about climate going to reach the right audiences?" Introspection and examining messaging &communication is key @BECCconference Virtual Day #BECC2022 Local Energy Shark Tank

Thank you to the amazing community advocates for championing our resolution calling for Gov. @GavinNewsom & @californiapuc to hold PG&E accountable for the deadly, expensive & devastating failures of the utility. We must reject PG&E's license to burn #cancelpge #goldenstateenergy

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

It's Unanimous. PG&E is over. Golden State Energy's time is now.

Last night, #SanFrancisco unanimously passed a resolution to #CancelPGE and initiate #GoldenStateEnergy!

Now, it's up to @GavinNewsom to include building our new energy system in #cabudget!

[Connie Chan 陳詩敏 @conniechansf]

Let's go Gov @GavinNewsom, invest in #GoldenStateEnergy now and empower our state to fight climate crisis against PG&E monopoly. We deserve energy democracy and we can no longer wait.

Attaching peoples well being to the stock price of arsonists?

That can only be "from the twisted minds of Wall Street to force fire survivors into that situation."

Check us out in @inthesetimesmag, and tell @GavinNewsom he can fix this. #CancelPGE

How does this settlement keep us safe?

Spoiler: it doesn't.

Instead of probation, transparency, accountability, @PGE4Me will pay a pittance for causing #KincadeFire & #DixieFire.

@GavinNewsom, courts won't solve this. You need to #CancelPGE.

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

The CA Auditor's got a new report on @californiapuc. Know what it said?

Exactly what we've known for years:
- @PGE4Me is dangerous, and regulators know it.
- @GavinNewsom's new safety office is letting them off the hook.
- It's time to #CancelPGE.

PG&E CEOs should be paying for rhe fires they caused, not us customers... says me, as our household rates are about to go up additional $400/yr under PG&Es rate hike for 2023! #utilityjustice #ReclaimOurPower

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

"We shouldn't be paying for their failures."

Mari Rose Taruc speaking truth about the obscene rate increases that @PGE4Me is pushing on us.

@californiapuc, @GavinNewsom, will you stand up for Californians, not Wall St? #StopRateHikes & #CancelPGE!

[Mari Rose Taruc @mrtaruc]

@utilityjustice @PGE4Me @californiapuc @GavinNewsom PG&E CEOs should pay for the fires they caused, not us customers... says me :)

[SacBee Editorial Board @SacBeeEditBoard]

From @mrtaruc & Mary Kay Benson: Due to a law the Newsom administration wrote, PG&E can tap into a $21 billion wildfire fund when they cause destructive and deadly fires. By acquiring this safety certificate, California grants the utility a license to burn https://t.co/3QZhGJJwpB

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

Today, @GavinNewsom turned his back on the people of California.

Hours before our press conference, just days before he was scheduled to meet with people impacted by PG&E's crimes, he approved the #LicenseToBurn.

Our statement here:
https://t.co/LVKVtAOW6l

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

“PG&E has gone on a crime spree and will emerge from probation as a continuing menace to California.”
-Judge Alsup

@GavinNewsom, Judge Alsup's probation couldn't stop @PGE4Me's terror- but you can. Reject their #LicenseToBurn!

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

Who decides whether to leave a dangerous power line unchecked? to shut off power to your breathing machine? To charge us for their failures?

Right now, it's @PGE4Me. That shouldn't be.

@GavinNewsom, your turn to decide. Reject the #LicenseToBurn!
https://t.co/1LqwBnndDr

[Mari Rose Taruc @mrtaruc]

The #DixieFire #CampFire #ZoggFire #KincadeFire & many others were caused by @PGE4Me. Yet somehow they keep getting off the hook while raising our rates.

Gov @GavinNewsom you can end PG&E's destruction. Cancel their #LicenseToBurn now!

[#ReclaimOurPower Utility Justice Campaign @utilityjustice]

The @sacbee_news has said it.
Elected leaders from all over the state have said it.
Now, @mercnews has said it.
And, most importantly- the people of California have demanded it.

@GavinNewsom, it is time to reject the #LicenseToBurn and #CancelPGE.
