Got Roadless? Oxygen Collective's roadless show coming to Arcata 6/4

California Energy Commission Hearing reveals faults with 3 Combustion Turbines The California Energy Commission held its hearing today and I was present for most of the hearing. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission experts and the San Francisco City Attorney made a fool of themselves.
