<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I think we
should resolve that the Marin Green Party Council or Party (how ever you might
want put it), does not Support Marin Clean Energy Authority choosing Shell, as
their provider. Picking it for its bid, is wrong, since Shell has shown it will
do just anything for profit, including concluding with governments over an execution
of an activist, or participating in murder, whether said they directly involved
or not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">My thoughts</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>All though I am full
supported of local control, and like idea of low energy bills, I don’t want get
them, over the bodies of people in other countries, and that’s what Shell has
been will to do, to get at Oil. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>People are telling
me, it’s choice over PG&E and Local Control. But I<font size="2"> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">can</font></font> also see it as choice of
Shell over PG&E, as bad as they are, they are not even close as bad as
Shell. True we can move from Shell in 5 years to another provider, but I will not
support an organization (especially a public government 1) that does business
with company like Shell, in the 1<sup>st</sup> place, why start with the wrong
choice to start out with. </div>
