Californians for Clean and Reliable Energy
Join Californians for Clean and Reliable Energy in supporting the Sunrise Powerlink, a new electric transmission line that will help secure a cleaner and more reliable energy future for California.
Clean Reliable Affordable
The Sunrise Powerlink will expand access to clean, renewable solar, geothermal and wind energy located in California's desert southeast regions such as the Imperial Valley. This "energy superhighway" will improve the reliability of Southern California's electric transmission grid and help protect against future power outages and blackouts. By providing access to more sources of power and relieving expensive transmission line bottlenecks, the Sunrise Powerlink will reduce energy costs to consumers statewide.

“Why should we let the blackouts of 2000 happen again when we know what the problem is and have identified a good solution?”

Rodrigo Dominguez

“As a researcher in optics, I have had the opportunity to look at the promise of solar energy. Supporting such projects in large-scale fashion in high-insulation areas such as California deserts is vital in making this state a leader in the technology and will ensure a strong economic future.”

Dirk Englund

“I am a strong supporter of the Sunrise Powerlink project. Southern California needs additional transmission capacity, including capacity for transmission of Green Energy (e.g. wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and related energies).”

Gregory Farrand

“I am a tax paying citizen of this great state, and a business owner. I would like drastic change to take place in favor of alternative energy seriously powering our state.”

Alan Rosemberg

“Please go through with building the Sunrise Powerlink. . . If we don't get serious about tackling global warming the entire state will become a toxic habitat.”

Ethan Prochnik

“We need to link renewable sources of energy with consumers. It's that simple.”

Scott Sykes

“I have a 3 and a 6 year old, and I don't want to hang my head in shame when they grow up into a world without clean, reliable power. We must transition to clean sources of energy before it's too late.”

Jeanne Peterson

“Utilities are one of the many areas in which Californians will need to change their thinking on how we live. We should be the global innovators.”
