Al Gore Backs LADWP Carbon Surcharge

LAist reports on Al Gore’s statement in support of the proposed LADWP carbon surcharge. “The Carbon Reduction Surcharge is one of the most forward-thinking clean energy plans I have ever seen,” said former Vice President Gore. “Not only does it create a trust fund to invest in clean, green energy, but it will also create jobs and kick-start the green economy in LA. I hope the Los Angeles City Council supports this Carbon Reduction proposal. Los Angeles’ efforts and the Mayor’s leadership in fighting for and investing in America’s clean energy future should be applauded.”
