Tell LADWP NO!!! To Scattergood Rebuild

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) wants to waste hundreds of millions of public dollars to rebuild the Scattergood power plant with soon to be obsolete natural gas technology.  That money would be far better spent on incentive programs that allow residents of Los Angeles retrofit their homes to lower energy costs and to invest in renewable energy production and battery storage.  Synaspe just released a report outlining 2 ways in which Los Angeles can reach 100% renewable by 2030.  Why spend hundreds of millions to update a facility with technology that will be obsolete in about a decade.  It is not just moral reprehensible to have public dollars continue to invest in technology that exacerbates the global climate change crisis, it is fiscally irresponsible to waste so much money on an extremely short term solution.   Contact LADWP and tell them not to spend 630 million dollars on our past and instead invest in our future.
