Gavin Newsom being confronted by members of the
Shut Down P.G.&E.
contingent in M.L.K. March.
Children, Moms from Bayview Hunters Point and allies marched on MLK day to demand environmental justice!
Gavin Newsom was confronted by members of the contingent about his failure to shut down the
Hunters Point P.G.& E. Power Plant which is currently operating
by burning fossil fuels.
Ten percent of Bayview Hunters Point residents reported having asthma, compared to 5.6 percent nationally. Among children, the asthma rate was one in six or 15 percent.
Every year that PG&E Hunters Point power plant operates, 600 tons of air pollution is emitted
over San Francisco.
Every day that PG&E Hunters Point remains open, it discharges arsenic, cadmium, chromium,
copper, silver, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, thallium, and chlorine into San Francisco Bay.
Closing PG&E Hunters Point power plant would have no effect on electric reliability in San
Francisco. The plant has operated for less than 60% of the last 3 years—it was closed for 8
months in 2003—causing no blackouts.
