AB 2145, The Monopoly Power Grab: DEFEATED!

The AB 2145 saga that arose the summer of 2014 represented the ultimate David and Goliath Story, as shown in pictures below. This bill would have gutted Community Electricity Choice by removing a core provision -- the ability to start a CCA with all community members enrolled.  Without this provision, a CCA cannot reach the scale needed to launch successfully.

Throughout the summer, many amendments were offered.  Several of these attempted to further restrict the ability of communities to form community choice districts.  Each amendment had to be evaluated, prior to collective action.  In each case, the statewide coalition  prevailed. 

Success was secured because an informed group of dedicated Californians took on AB 2145 sponsor Assembly Member Bradford, his supporters in the Assembly and in the utilities PG&E, SDG&E, and SCE, and his shills pulled in from far and wide. It took vigilance and perseverance.  How did we do it? One dedicated day at a time.
