“Mayor Gavin Newsom asked city legislators to delay a vote on a controversial plan to build a new power plant in Potrero Hill that will replace an older, more polluting plant, saying he needs another week to work on an alternative strategy.”
∙ Decision on Potrero power plant delayed [Examiner]
I think any step towards building a cleaner power plant is a good move. This could be an opportunity for SF to take the LEED (chuckle) in setting a good example, and promoting the green technology industry (that we *hear* so much about) here in the Bay Area.
Fingers crossed.
Wonder if Newsom’s “alternative” involves tidal power.
Runour is: There is a plan to cut the top 20 feet of the dome in City Hall and add a horizontal wind turbine to capture all the hot air coming from there. That will make up for the Potrero Hill plant.
