"Hello Environment California members,
Over the past several years, I have been teaching photovoltaics (solar electricity) to inner city students. We cover solar technology in depth, how it works and how to install these state-of-the-art electrical systems on our homes and businesses.
Whether I am teaching other teachers or inner city youth, students are in my classes because they get it. Green energy technology is the wave of the future -- and the way to rebuild our economy is to start with clean energy. But we can't create a green economy on wishes alone. Jobs have to be created.
That's why I'm urging Sacramento to triple the amount of clean energy in California. And I'd love your support.
If we triple our goals for clean energy production that will mean utilities will start building more windmills, you'll see more solar panels on schools and government buildings, and you'll see an emerging market for new high-tech green jobs.
How did FDR end the Great Depression? He created jobs.
I teach some of the brightest and most enthusiastic students who want nothing more than to repower this state with green energy. But it takes more than rhetoric. It takes a commitment from our leaders in Sacramento.
It's time to triple our clean energy use. Tell your legislators to act:
