Photos from Anti-PG&E action at the LGBT center

by Anne T. Greenwashing
In reaction to PG&E's massive greenwashing campaign, a group of protesters crashed the PG&E press conference at the LGBT center, where they were unveiling their newly installed solar panels. The protesters wanted to make it clear that installing solar panels on one building did not make this billion dollar corporation 'green'. PG&E owns less than 1% solar energy facilities and 2% wind. It has also lobbied against incentives for individuals to install solar panels in the recent past. Go to letsgreenWASHthiscity.org for more info.

PG&E is vested in a lot of dirty energy production facilities, and they own hardly any wind or solar.

July 2006 is the last month that they actually included their power mix. At the press conference, when Guardian reporter, Amanda Witherell, ask PG&E CEO what percentage of PG&E's energy came from solar, he responded that he didn't know that figure. Well... here it is!
