For the Environment:

  • The Sunrise Powerlink is the best way to tap clean wind, solar and geothermal energy sources in the Imperial Valley.

  • Without projects like this, California may not be able to meet its aggressive renewable energy goals.

A More Reliable Energy Grid:

  • The state's experts and even the federal government believe the system that delivers power throughout Southern California is not adequate.

  • When transmission lines go down or the system breaks, California's energy security is weakened. We shouldn't wait until there's a crisis to do what's right.

How do you think a power outage would impact you?

Here's what other Californians think:

  • "As a senior citizen living alone, it would pose many dangerous situations."

  • "Food spoiling in my refrigerator would take a long time to restock adequately."
  • "I have an all electric household.  It would shut down my entire lifestyle."

Subject: Approve the Sunrise Powerlink!

I strongly support the Sunrise Powerlink and encourage you to approve this project, ensuring the state's energy needs and environmental goals can be met. Not constructing this important infrastructure project puts our clean and reliable energy future at risk.

Reliable electric service is vital to our state's economy, our quality of life and, for many Californians, their personal safety. Furthermore, the Sunrise Powerlink will open access to solar, wind and geothermal energy sources in the Imperial Valley to meet the state's aggressive clean energy goals and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
