Committee Moves Forward With Mirant Power Replacement Plan
May 6, 2008
A San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee yesterday approved a controversial plan to replace an aging, polluting power plant in one of the city’s poorer neighborhoods with four cleaner-burning power plants.
The project would establish three natural gas combustion turbines at 25th and Maryland streets in the Potrero District, and one turbine at San Francisco International Airport.
San Francisco Bay is more than an obstacle one must travel over on their commute... More than a parcel of underwater real estate waiting to be developed... More than a source of income, openly inviting exploitation...
It's waters define the quality of life for all residents, regardless of species.
Take a deep breath of the cool air at the water’s edge. as the salt tickles your nose, close your eyes & picture this marsh 200 years ago...fishes & fowl, flora & fauna flourished here in such abundance & amazing diversity, Warm Water Cove today is a desert in comparison.At first, nothing seems wrong with San Francisco Bay. There are the usual seagulls, seals, dragonflies & fish present. a few brown pelicans soar overhead. However, no marsh plants are growing at the shore. In abundance, are fennel & yellow oxalis (when it rains), unwanted guests.There is no shelter from the elements or predators. More importantly, the grasses in a normal marsh filter fresh & salt water to balance PH & water salinity. Wetland plants also remove pollutants from the Bay. Posted at the entrance to the park, signs warning us not to consume fish caught here is the most damning clue about the Bay’s health, but visitors rarely notice... Individuals, not oil tankers are the largest polluters of the Bay. Responsibility for the Bay’s health begins with us. Here are a few simple things you can do to help:
-
Don’t litter! pick up any trash along the shore.
-
People spill, dump or leak 3 million gallons of oil a year into the Bay. Carefully dispose of oil at a designated oil recycling facility.
-
Trade your mercury thermometer for a non-toxic one, & take thermometers & fluorescent light bulbs (both tubes and compacts) to your local hazardous waste facility.
-
Don’t dispose of your unwanted medicine in the toilet or in the garbage. take them to a pharmacy for disposal.
-
Walk, bicycle, skate or use mass transit. Don’t drive.
Everything you do matters! From oil leaking from vehicles to plastic bags, to what you flush, eventually it ends up in the waters of San Francisco Bay. A good rule to follow is, if it’s bad for you, it’s bad for the Bay.
Our purpose for organizing these events is to educate the public about planned construction of a power plant next to this park to replace the old one. We believe the plan is flawed. Fossil fuel power generation is obsolete. Besides carbon, nano-particulates, a suspected cause of asthma & other respiratory ailments, would be emitted in one of the most densely populated areas of the U.S.Conserving energy is a wiser (& cheaper) choice. S.F. could easily reduce energy demands by eliminating waste through conscious consumption. Fossil fuels, nuclear & hydroelectric power all damage the earth in ways we have yet to understand. research, development & investment in clean, renewable energy sources should always be a top priority! Remember-- please respect local wildlife & leave your pets at home. The park is easily accessible by MUNI (T, 22, 48) & Caltrain. Dress for the weather. Bring water to share. You’re the One!
