Political Analysis - 12/6/11
December 6, 2011 Guest: Eric Brooks --San Francisco Green Party organizer and local clean energy activist
As the COP 17 climate talks in Durban, South Africa enter their second week, Political Analysis host Sandy LeonVest features "clips and coverage" of the climate talks -- along with protests by Greenpeace, African Womens' groups, indigenous rights activists, rural farmers and others, currently taking place outside the conference. The groups are speaking out against corporate "occupiers," including Big Oil multinationals Shell, Chevron and Exxon.
During the second half of the show, SLV talks to San Francisco Green Party organizer and energy democracy advocate Eric Brooks about how "disaster capitalism" and the City's contract with Shell for "clean energy" stands to impact San Francisco's Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), known as CleanPowerSF. They also talk about Shell's contract with Marin County's CCA, the company's plans to "occupy" California's clean energy future -- and how Big Oil, left unchecked, could potentially subvert "community choice" across the Golden State -- and the country.
