Edison got huge rate boost although required filing still not made
Thank God we have a Democratic governor, legislature and Mayor to protect San Diego from the CPUC-SCE corruption and criminal incompetence that turned San Onofre into a California version of Fukushima. Charging ratepayers for SCE-CPUC corruption, criminal incompetence and threats to public safety should be grounds for ending SCE's control over the CPUC.— February 6, 2013 12:05 p.m.
Filing: SDGE, SCE ratepayers getting shafted over San Onofre
Prof. Bauder, this creates a worst case scenario: If we do not begin replacing CO2 producing power plants in this decade, then global warming tipping points shall get out of our control, a fact which 2012 climate disasters should have taught us. We can no longer afford business as usual corruption and incompetence like Fukushima and San Onofre. We desperately need a respectable leader/spokesperson to motivate the public to demand that the right things be done today, before our ability to control our future quality of life is lost.— February 4, 2013 12:44 p.m.
Filing: SDGE, SCE ratepayers getting shafted over San Onofre
This scenario presents a hellacioius dilemma for humanity. We desperately need to save humanity from unacceptable consequences of global warming by eliminating all CO2 producing power plants around the world in this decade. America must have huge power plants for power (and seawater desalination), and nuclear is the only way to make this happen in the time necessary to prevent out of control climate changes we are already experiencing from creating unacceptable quality of life before the end of the century, especially since we already have 7 Billion people and out of control poverty around the world. The disaster at Fukushima is a tragedy that makes nuclear power look even worse because it showed that even in Japan, where people understandably should have been totally against nuclear because of WWII, the consequences of government and power company corruption and incompetence exceeded our worst fears. Relative to this post, we have every good reason to be concerned because Peevey's CPUC and his former SCE have also demonstrated outrageous corruption and incompetence. The best long-term solution is hybrid fusion generating plants, but unfortunately President Eisenhower was most correct when he said "The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present – and is gravely to be regarded" in his 1961 Farewell Address and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scholars/scientists have been proving Ike's grave warning correct ever since. So greed, corruption and incompetence are putting humanity at the gravest risk in the history of civilization, giving "between the devil and the deep blue sea" a whole new meaning the hard way today. We must demand leadership that will create a fast track project to begin building hybrid fusion power plants in this decade, with the same kind of fast track leadership and people who won WWII and put men on the moon.— February 2, 2013 12:47 p.m.
UC students, workers to protest fat executive pay
Darn, this means our problems shall never be solved. How about authoring a new version of the "Declaration of Independence" v.21C instead? You can at least be the new John Adams, who along with his most wonderful wife Abigail, helped get America up and running in the first place even though he irked Jefferson, Franklin and Washington many, many times. We most desperately need a new John Adams today.— February 1, 2013 6:04 a.m.
Plaza de Panama Committee continues to send lobbyists to City Hall
Dorian, it is most outrageous that the lobbyists want to charge the people of San Diego $5, or any amount of money, to park in our park, especially when there is a social contract to make the park free for all families to enjoy, not just super wealthy like Jacobs who wants his name on the parking structure. The new Manchester U-T is now the Champion of Social Intolerance and Economic Exploitation and must be stopped by the court and Mayor Filner to prove that we still have judges and politicians who cannot be bought by special interests who keep proving they don't care if they bankrupt San Diego and destroy our social structure.— January 31, 2013 1:48 p.m.

I was right, you are the best man for the new position of Professor of Social Conscience. I wonder if we can get Jerry Brown to create the position for you?— January 31, 2013 1:32 p.m.
National economy shrinks in fourth quarter
SP, consider this, if Romney had been elected, everyone would want to be protected by a union because Washington would truly become the most intolerant and exploitive government in history. Romney's speeches proved him to be the worst case scenario False Profit in American history, both socially and morally.— January 31, 2013 12:45 p.m.

I agree Don, and if they add you that should be two people who can make the right things happen at last because I will bet that the two of year are flameproof enough to overcome their culture of failure. I had at one time thought that it would take social scientists to do the job, but after years of communicating with marginalizers who won't talk to anyone outside their Ivory Tower, I have totally given up (well almost totally, babysitting my granddaughters motivates me at least once a week to keep trying because their future is at the top of my priority list along with my wife). In fact one of the senior social science elitists who actually responded to one of my e-mails said that kind of effort on his part would be "above his pay scale" so even $200,000 a year won't motivate them to make any effort to save humanity.— January 31, 2013 12:09 p.m.

Sorry about that Visduh, unfortunately as you also document, UC needs a cultural overhaul, but I think only someone with Don's expertise, experience and dedication fix it. The best thing I got out of Cal was my wife, she made me the luckiest man on earth for over 50 years, but she had a much better GPA than I did. We are granddaughter sitting an infant and a toddler today, just took them to the zoo, and that truly is as good as it gets.— January 31, 2013 11:57 a.m.

I'm a Cal graduate who has had to watch UC decline for 50 years. The #1 fact of life I have learned the hard way is that UC is a class system where academics consider themselves members of an elite social class. They enforce their elitism by isolating themselves from lower classes, like the rest of us, by enforcing a system of marginalization. If you try and communicate with them (like we do with Don) you will find out that they believe only in one-way communication, so don't expect them communicate with the rest of us in what they consider to be the lower classes. Don would be a great role model for them. What UC needs is a Dept. of Social Conscience, starting with tutorials for the professors, administrators and regents. Don should have the first professorship.— January 31, 2013 6:21 a.m.
