Blog: Say No to Smoke Stacks, Vote Yes on Measure A

This is our last chance to send a message to the California Energy Commission that we do not want a power plant. If Measure A does not pass, we are likely to get a new power plant. Don’t believe the special interests that say we should compromise and negotiate with AES…that is code for Redondo Beach gets a new power plant.

Let’s send a message to AES that we don’t want their air pollution, landscape pollution, noise pollution, and particulate matter polluting our families any longer. On March 5, stop what you’re doing, go to the polls and do something that you can be proud of for years to come. It’s time for the smoke stacks to go!

Our children will appreciate it. Just look North to El Segundo. If you want a giant toxic plume like that in Redondo Beach for the next 50 years, vote no on Measure A. If you want to tell them to stick their smoke stacks where the sun don't shine...Vote Yes on Measure A.

Basically, the special interests are so brazen that the only thing they offer Redondo Beach for accepting a new power plant is "just accept it and we won't sue you." What do we get? Nothing but ugly smoke stacks and a higher risk of having health problems! AES does not have a permit for a new plant. Therefore, we can't take something they don't have.

It is not their right to run a power plant into eternity. It is up to the state of California and us.

Vote Yes on A
