A video showing that SDG&E's true purpose in proposing the Sunrise Powerlink, a 150-mile transmission line through Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and San Diego's rural communities, is to bring fossil-fuel power north from Mexico. Rather than bringing renewable power from Imperial Valley, the line will mainly be used as a link to get the fossil-fuel power to Los Angeles. Contrary to the "clean air for our children" greenwash that SDG&E puts out about the line, it will actually increase pollution and result in higher asthma rates in Imperial Valley, which already has the highest childhood asthma rates in the nation. In addition to the video, you can get information on Sunrise Powerlink at www.sdsmartenergy.org and www.peoplespowerlink.org.
