Good news!<\/p>\n

Today, we got two big endorsements for our Carbon Reduction Surcharge
\nplan to create 18,000 green jobs and turn the DWP into the greenest
\nutility in the country. <\/p>\n

Vice President Al Gore wrote on his website<\/a>: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles has introduced one
\n of the most forward-thinking clean energy plans I have ever seen. He’s
\ncalling it a Carbon Reduction Surcharge. It allocates a portion of the
\nLos Angeles Department of Water and Power’s rate collection into a trust
\n fund to create a renewable energy and efficiency trust fund to invest
\nin clean, green energy and job creation.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And the Vice President isn’t the only one coming out for
\nour innovative plan. Today, the Sierra Club also stood behind our
\naggressive agenda for escalating our renewable energy goals and spurring
\n job creation in the City.

\nIn a must read blog post <\/a>on the Huffington Post, Jim
\nCorcoran of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign writes:<\/p>\n

It makes neither long-term nor short-term economic sense for
\n Los Angeles to continue exporting our money to out of state coal
\ncorporations when we can instead invest in energy efficiency and
\nrenewable energy technologies that will put thousands of Angelenos to
\nwork.<\/p>\n

[The Carbon Reduction Surcharge] would shine much-needed sunlight on the
\n DWP planning process, create thousands of local jobs and generate the
\nfunds for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that will
\nharness the power of sunlight to wean our City off dirty and dangerous
\ncoal-fired power.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’re grateful to Vice President Gore and
\nthe Sierra Club for their support in our efforts to turn Los Angeles
\ninto a capital of the new, green economy. <\/p>\n

\nThank you,
\nMayor Villaraigosa<\/p>\n
