<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:v_bernal@sbcglobal.net <br />Sent:Tuesday, February 02, 2021 11:10 AM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:I support your vote that Santa Ana join the OCPA community choice energy <br />Santa Ana City Mayor and Councilmembers, <br />You have heard and read multiple times about the positive outcomes of participation in Community Choice Energy, in <br />our case, joining the new Orange County Power Authority. I am eager to listen to today’s staff report about the <br />prospects for our city of Santa Ana. <br />Rather than repeat once again the benefits, I prefer to simply express my full support for your voting to join the OCPA. <br />Our Santa Ana families and our businesses will enjoy savings and new opportunities as a result of the program. Just as <br />important, though not as immediately obvious, it will give our city the opportunity to contribute to a safer climate and <br />environment, by choosing clean renewable energy. <br />As a climate advocate, I have made my individual choices for clean energy. I hold the hope that my community as a <br />whole will do the same, because our youth’s future depends on the greater climate safety that replacing polluting fuels <br />with renewable energy promises. <br />I urge you to make that choice as representatives of our city. <br />Thank you. <br />Virginia Bernal <br />Santa Ana, District 5 <br /> <br /> <br />Virginia Bernal <br />Citizens Climate Lobby CA OC North Central Chapter <br />714-878-5099 <br /> <br />Solving the climate crisis must be a huge part of our recovery from this pandemic – climate change is ongoing, real, and <br />more devastating. With both crises, the more we delay the greater the damage. <br /> <br />Pricing carbon is the best accelerator of the many needed solutions to climate change, and carbon fee and dividend is the most <br />efficient and socially just way to price carbon. We support the bipartisan Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, H.R. <br />763. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
