 The San Diego Smart Energy Solutions Campaign offers a viable, reliable, and clean alternative to SDG&E's destructive Sunrise Powerlink, which would violate wilderness values in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, as well as impacting important desert habitat in Imperial County. The campaign's alternative, described in a report entitled "San Diego Smart Energy 2020," focuses on in-basin generation, renewables, conservation, and other methods that will allow San Diego to meet more of its own energy needs without destructive and wasteful long-distance transmission lines. It also will reduce San Diego's power-related greenhouse gas emissions by 50%. To learn more about the alternative, and to take a quick action to support the campaign, go to: www.dpcinc.org/_sunrisepower.shtml.

On Thursday November 29, 2007, at 7:30PM, the San Diego Chapter of the Sierra Club will present a premiere showing of the film "Journey from Spirit Mountain" produced by Hokan Media Productions and funded by the Desert Protective Council. The event will also feature a presentation by the film's creator, Preston J. Arrow-weed. The program is free and open to the public. "Journey from Spirit Mountain" is an emotionally inspiring film told from the perspective of the Quechan people, weaving together striking desert elements, oral tradition, and Quechan culture in a cinematically dream-like style that engages, enlightens, and empowers. It's a film that will leave you with a stronger appreciation of the desert's elements, history and culture, which are the very foundation of Quechan culture and belief. To learn more about film, go to www.dpcinc.org/_events.shtml.
