Local Energy

 If I was a homeowner and or paid an electric bill I would opt out of Marin Clean Energy.  I don't get that transferring the money from what used to go to PG&E now going to Shell North America (despite  their claims of where the electrons are generated} is an improvement or that it is '1OO percent green' as the ad campaign says. To have dedicated solar farms somewhere in California for the environmentally concerned people of Marin, but not in Marin is not my idea of 'green'.  We have plenty of roofs in Marin waiting for solar panels. Why should we fill some remote corner of California with acres of solar collectors dedicated to the people of Marin. I think this is what they call 'Greenwash'. Don't listen to me though - do some investigating yourself.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         http://solartimes.org/pdf/qtr2_2012.pdf#page=3
