Subject: Marin Energy Authority's right to be a middle man between PG&E and suppliers of electrical power.

Attn. Ca Consumer Protection Agency.

You are respectfully requested to provide an answer for the following 3 queries.

Query # 1. The Marin Board of Supervisors plans to replace PG&E with the Marin Energy Authority as the provider of my electrical power to PG&E. PG&E would continue to deliver electrical power to me and bill me.

Query # 2. Can Marin County and or Marin Energy do this without my vote consenting to establishing a "middle man" between PG&E and PG&E' power supplier which will raise my kilowatt per hour rate without Ca. Utilities Commission's approval ?

Query # 3. Is it legal for Marin County and or Marin Energy Commission to enroll my name in the Marin Energy Authority without my consent which I strongly believe is an illegal invasion of my right to privacy.?.


As a consumer of electrical power my objections are

1. Marin Energy Authority plans to enroll me in Marin Energy Authority without my consent which invades my right to privacy.

2. Marin Energy Authority plans to buy power from "green" power producers (Wind and solar farms) which currently are not sufficiently developed to produce the quantity of power required by Marin County.

3. "Green" power production is not yet currently economically feasible, competitive nor in the far future.

4. Marin Energy Authority requires $1,600,000 as "start-up" costs.

5. Marin Energy Authority's plan to buy power from yet existent "green" energy producers appears to be a legislated ploy to create a demand for "green" energy so that "green" energy investors such as T.Boone Pickens, Al. Gore and who knows what other fat cat Serra Club and progressive democrats can sell financial investment instruments to raise the finances necessary to build "start-up" "green" energy production facilities and the necessary Ca. and interstate electrical transmission lines connecting "green" energy suppliers to PG&E.

8. All these "green" energy producer start-up cost will end up gushing down to me as a consumer with out my consent. I'm retired living on Social Security and an IRA.

6. As a "middle man" the administrative costs of Marin Energy Authority are not able to be controlled by the Ca. Utility Commission but will be passed to me via a PG&E monthly bill.

7. Wind mills are ugly detractors of scenic beauty. Ted Kennedy fought installing them far at sea in front of his vacation home on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

8. Solar panels are notoriously cost in-effective and they are also ugly detractors of the visual environment

9. Nuclear Energy is renewable, reliable, safe an d one plant is capable of supplying all of Northern California with cheaper electricity than fossil fuel power plants and "green" power farms. Disposable is feasible at Yucca Mountain, Nevada and with imagination spent fuel rods could be collected nation wide and stored on an Asteroid or other totally inhabitable planet.

10 France has had Nuclear Power plants for more than forty (40) years. No accidents for more than 40 years. And its so cheap my French relatives and everyone I know in France heats with electricity.

As a consumer of electrical power supplied by electrical power generators to PG&E who supplies me with electrical power, I object as this "middle man" whose uncompetitive, uncontrolled "green" energy production costs will increase my electrical consumption costs astronomically, as stated by President Obama during his 2008 campaign.

I respectfully request that the Consumer Protection Agency intervene by contacting Marin County Board of Supervisors cmcglashan@co.marin.ca.us, hbrown@co.marin.ca.us, cmurray@co.marin.ca.us, skinsey@co.marin.ca.us, sadams@co.marin.ca.us, and copy me
