To the Editor: 

In light of the U.S. Senate's disappointing energy bill, the responsibility for securing a clean energy future falls on us. 

With year-round sun, wind, and reservoirs of heat below the earth's surface, California has tremendous potential for clean, stable energy – and it’s time we took advantage of that. SB 532, the California Clean Energy Bill, would require power suppliers to get 20 percent of their power from clean, renewable sources by 2010. The State Assembly will decide whether to approve SB532 within weeks. Let us hope that they do.
