The San Francisco Board of Supervisors again Tuesday delayed a vote on whether to close an old and heavily polluting power plant on Potrero Hill and replace it with three natural-gas-powered generators. The proposal was amended so the general manager of the city's Public Utilities Commission could conduct a 90-day "final due diligence review." Under this plan, the project would proceed if the PUC cannot find a viable alternative to erecting the fossil-fuel-burning generators. Some officials have suggested the current dirty plant could be retrofitted for less money and still cut pollution.
