Hunters Point Parcel A comes to haunt City and County of San Francisco Parcel A on Hunters Point now belongs to the City and County of San Francisco. Mayor Gavin Newsom bears responsibility for liability and the hot spots found on Parcel A. Some of the hot spots have radiological elements and we have the Department of Public Works (DPW) now working on Parcel A without the constituents of San Francisco knowing a thing. Parcel A is very contaminated and yet Mayor Gavin Newsom with San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (SFRA) wants to build 1600 homes in the middle of...

California Energy Commission favors diatribe from SFPUC and not facts. California Energy Commission (CEC) favors the diatribe that San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) spews at the various (CEC) hearings. The City and County of San Francisco too favours particulates when it embraces the use of fossil fuel in large measure. Particulates kill people and if we can stay way from particulates using Clean Energy that is the path we should take. SFPUC wants to place 3 Combustion Turbines by Pier 80 and closer to the Bayview. We already have too much pollu...

Got Roadless? Oxygen Collective's roadless show coming to Arcata 6/4 
The Final chapter of the saga of the Biscuit Burn is still unwritten. Ecologists prove logging it is unhealthy, firefighters warn it's dangerous, economists assure it's wasteful. Dozens of arrests have stymied the threat to a fraction of their promise. Still, Bush and Big Timber come back for more - this time Kalmiopsis Roadless Areas auctioned off under the guise of salvage!
The Oxygen Collective is directly challenging the Bush Administration's rapidly advancing plans to salvage log for...

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. Our City has failed its constituents again and again but this time with the 3 Combustion Turbines the City and County of San Francisco has crossed the line.
