This week county supervisors agreed to co-sign a loan in support of Marin Clean Energy start-up operations. Voting 3-2, with supervisors Steve Kinsey and Judy Arnold in opposition, the board opted to guarantee $950,000 for MCE, joining three unnamed residents who’ve agreed to co-sign $750,000 of the $1.7 million loan. The board’s decision followed announcement of PG&E’s threatened lawsuit against the Marin Municipal Water District, should it agree to co-sign on the loan. The Marin Energy Authority, the joint-powers group of towns and the county that would run the clean-energy operation, is set to vote this week on a contract with an electricity wholesaler.
