San Diego Gas & Electric rates are nation's highest
Over two years ago the utilities were finally required to start reimbursing residential solar generators for any excess power that they generated. The final decision by the CPUC was to require them to reimburse at a rate of $.035/KWH. This is a pittance considering that they charge customers up to $.25/kwh for the same electricity. I have no incentive to conserve the power I generate at this low rate. In 2011 I generated an excess of 420 kwh for the year and received a grand total of abour $14.00 This past year I used all of the power I generated plus about 320 kwh of SDGE's power and my bill only went up by $21.— May 3, 2013 11:21 a.m.

tomjonston, I was being facetious with the Curiously comment. You have it exactly correct, it was a manufactured crisis. Dennis— May 3, 2013 11:14 a.m.

The Ca ISO (independent service operator) has some interesting graphs on it's website. This one shows the current available resources and the demand. Even without the nukes operating peak demand today is only about 75% of available resources. http://www.caiso.com/Pages/TodaysOutlook.aspx#R... A separate spreadsheet shows the alert history for the grid back to 1998, Curiously the highest alerts were generated during the Enron debacle. http://www.caiso.com/Documents/Alert_Warningand... That period was enough for me to decide that going solar was in my long term interest.— May 2, 2013 1:23 p.m.

I installed solar panels on my house in April 2006. I just paid my annual bill for electricity to SDGE which totalled $55.91. My home is all electric with the exception of a gas drier, furnace and hot water heater. Maintenance is limited to going on the roof a few times a year to wash off the panels. My original investment after all rebates & tax credits was about $18K & I figure I'm well over half way to the break even point. It's the best investment I've ever made, no longer under the thumb of SDGE!— April 24, 2013 1:34 p.m.

Peregrine II? ServiceNow insiders, including Moores, dumping shares
It is amazing that these types of scams continue & nobody goes to jail, at least not the ones at the top of the heap. The latest Moores deal sounds just like a Ponzi scheme.— April 3, 2013 4:57 p.m.

RV parking ban planned for streets west of I-5
Wasn't this tried a few years back on a citywide basis & shot down? There are a lot of RV owners in SD.— March 8, 2013 12:26 p.m.
U.S. adds 236,000 jobs in February, unemployment rate drops
While a long way from being good news, the trend is in the right direction. It has been a very deep hole to dig out from with no help from the folks that dug it in the first place. It would be interesting to compare the young adult employment rates from 2008 to todays numbers.— March 8, 2013 12:13 p.m.
