Costs Surrounding San Onofre Shutdown Continue to Climb

Costs Surrounding San Onofre Shutdown Continue to Climb
Oh and don't need a Fukushima here in San Diego with an old, buggy nuclear reactor on a fault line on the water...we need REAL clean energy, not one that could make the area uninhabitable for thousands of years :D— May 29, 2012 6:11 p.m.
Costs Surrounding San Onofre Shutdown Continue to Climb
From what I gathered in the article, this plant is costing us close to $1B to maintain, including repairs and other costs. To make one home solar powered costs roughly $30,000 (without subsidies) ([http://www.moneyedup.com/2011/01/how-much-does-it…]) which means that if San Diego invested $1B in solar energy that would cover the cost of 33,000+ San Diegans would be completely energy sustainable FOREVER. Now this price is for someone to DIY at home by themselves. A massive government contract with subsidies would probably reduce the cost closer to $5,000 per house which would would power 200,000 houses forever. It's time to start thinking outside the box with free energy solutions and put the effort in that will benefit San Diegans for generations to come. We need to stop feeding into the interests of corporations like Sempra Energy that keep us dependent on them so they can enjoy huge capital gains. It's time that the people stand up and say, "This is what WE want!" [1]: http://www.moneyedup.com/2011/01/how-much-does-it…— May 29, 2012 6:09 p.m.
