Today is Earth Day, but looking around the local news sites you wouldn’t be able to tell. SF Gate has a small link, though Macy’s is using their ad space to promote CFL light bulbs, and just one story on the Examiner home page about how far behind San Francisco is on it’s green vehicle fleet. The City web site doesn’t have a single thing about Earth Day.

I expected better of San Francisco. A $3 million tax incentive program for residents who install solar panels is stalled while the City is considered construction of a new fossil-fuel power plant, at a cost of a quarter million dollars and located in a neighborhood already suffering the negative health effects of the current power plants.

Can’t we do better than this?
