This is it. It is now or never. Your town, your neighbors, our children and future generations need you. This is a call to action!
The next few weeks will determine the fate of our waterfront for generations to come. Will we be doomed to 50 more years of a blighting our harbor and spewing toxins over our community? Or will we reclaim and restore our waterfront into something we can all be proud of? It is up to us.
NoPowerPlant.com is gearing up to gather signatures to get the Power Plant Phase Out initiative on the ballot. They will need to gather 9,500 signatures before the end of September, so it is time for all hands on deck!
If you want to join your neighbors, rid our waterfront of the blighting, polluting power plant, and be part of writing a new chapter in South Bay history, stand up and volunteer to gather petition signatures. You must be “eligible to register to vote in California” to help gather signatures. Send an email to dolfanmeli@yahoo.com to volunteer. Your fellow residents, our children, and generations to come need you—and, they need you now.
Volunteer and urge your family and friends to volunteer. Join the fight to take back our waterfront from a company in Virginia. They don’t live here. They don’t really care about our community. If they did, they would have fixed their steam vent problem years ago. If they cared about the communities their power plants pollute, they would not run any coal fired power plants anywhere. AES does what they must to get the permits and contracts to produce power. They get environmental when regulations force them or profits drive them to it. Their local president doesn’t live here. Their project manager doesn’t live here. They don’t have to look at the plant every day. They don’t have to breath their own pollution. They don’t raise their kids here.
We do. It is our town, not theirs. We must not sit by and allow them to bulldoze over us to build a power plant we don’t want and that we don’t need.
This is American democracy at its best, in the tradition of our founding fathers. Don’t let a company in Virginia bully us and dictate what happens to our waterfront. If we cower in fear and complacency, we get the pollution and blight, while they take their profits to Virginia.
Stand up and fight for our waterfront side-by-side with your neighbors! Join the fight to take back our waterfront!

Stop lying to the folks of Redondo Beach and putting works in their mouths and feeding them BS about the pollution it produces, the cars are much worse and should be your focus as well as mass transit. You don’t speak for me as a residence and business owner here in Redondo Beach and along with thousand of other who live here in the South Bay. I know you will reply and cut me and everyone else down as you always do that is your MO. There is no money to do this removal of the entire plant! get a grip and a line with the AES plan or nothing will happen my friend.
I agree, according to the AQMD official who testified to the city council, we have two main sources of pollution in Redondo. cars and the power plant. We certainly are not going to stop people from going to work everyday. But we can retire our unneeded power plant. So we can cut out one major source of pollution in our town. And at the run rates AES has advertised for the new plant, we can prevent a major increase in pollution released from shorter smokestacks much closer to the ground. The initiative requires AES to remove the plant. AES officials have publicly stated that salvage value will pay for demo and remediation I am not cutting you down. I am just setting the facts straight. It is you who cut me down. I won't call you a liar, but your statements are not factual .
