City Council posed to benefit off backs of working families

According to the recent article in the San Antonio Express-News, the City Council is posed to turn a blind eye once again to the needs of working families. Rather than looking forward towards energy solutions that bring jobs and improve the environment, the Council is stuck in old technologies that neither Banks nor the Federal Government want to fund.

Yes, the Mayor and Council is looking to support a proposal that THROWS no less than $5.6 BILLION DOLLARS outside of San Antonio in a partnership with a New Jersey company that have never built a nuclear plant and declared bankruptcy once.

Who foots the bill? The CPS ratepayers, families already struggling to make ends meet, will have to pay for this risky project. Yet, it is CPS and its executives that are posed to make millions off the deal. If Council approves this next step, basically we are locked into 10 years of rate increases - for a project that brings no jobs to the City.

What if it doesn't work? you will still have to pay.

Are there alternatives? San Antonio can become a leader in solar and energy efficiency. This can create jobs locally and help reduce energy bills for folks that are least able to pay.

CPS has already recklessly wasted $276 million on this idea -- it needs to stop now! The people didn't approve this investment. Don't commit anymore of the people's money to nukes.
