"Our Reality" Environmental Justice Tour

FACT: Every year that the PG&E Hunters Point Power Plant operates it spews more than 600 tons of pollution into the air over San Francisco

FACT: Every day that the plant operates, it discharges arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, silver, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, thallium, and chlorine into the San Francisco Bay.

FACT: Closing the 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. It is not needed to keep the lights on in San Francisco.

FACT: Ten percent of Bayview Hunters Point residents reported having asthma, compared to 5.6 percent nationally. Among children in Bayview Hunters Point, the asthma rate was 15 percent, or one in six.
