We demand clean air & environmental justice, not more asthma & pollution from polluting power plants!

The health of Bayview Hunters Point & Potrero residents is at risk:

• Built in 1929, the PG&E Hunters Point Power Plant is one of the oldest and dirtiest in the state, and is the single largest stationary source of air pollution in San Francisco.
• PG&E's Hunters Point Power Plant and Mirant's Potrero plant emit pollutants including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM10), and volatile organic compounds that can cause respiratory problems, dizziness, fatigue and interfere with oxygen levels in blood.
• Power plant pollutants contribute to smog, acid rain and negative impacts on water quality.
• Residents in the mostly low-income people of color neighborhoods near the power plants suffer high rates of asthma.
• San Francisco suffers the highest rates for breast cancer in California, and the Southeast section of the city is a hotspot. Women under 50 in Bayview Hunters Point have twice the rate of breast cancer as women in the rest of San Francisco.
• The PG&E plant is outdated and unnecessary. The PG&E plant generates 215 megawatts, and can be replaced by clean, renewable energy, conservation and energy efficiency.
• Despite an alleged agreement between the City and PG&E to shut the plant down, PG&E now says this polluting plant may stay open for five more years.
