UCAN Joins Fight Against Utility's Treatment of Customers
Yeah, I'm familiar with SCE. You should try downloading their field guide for renewable energy technologies. It makes good bedtime reading. As for the PG&E deal, well let's just say I'm in the camp that considers the agreement a public-relations maneuver to show that the utility is attempting to meet its mandate to use renewable energy. Solaren never raised the money, $1billion. They said they were going to be launching their first satellites in 2011 and 2012. As far as I am aware, there have been no launches, and in fact no contracts awarded to build. Color me a non believer in Solaren's claims.— February 26, 2012 6:08 p.m.

I wouldn't say that SD is ideally suited. According to NOAA data, SD receives only about 68% of available sunlight, based on about 60 yrs of data. That's about average for most of most of southern cal and is in the range of most of the southern US, excluding the desert southwest. The areas best suited run across the deserts from Cal thru Az and NM and into Texas. The central valley is also well suited, getting about 10% more sunshine than SD. Not surprising, considering the amount of agro there. According to the NOAA date, the best place in the country foor solar, in terms of amount of sunlight, is the Yuma area with about 90%.— February 26, 2012 4:15 p.m.

surfpuppy619, I was under the impression that you live in SD. It's only about an hour flight and you could probably go round trip for $150. Or if you want to drive, it's less than 5 hrs. Here's where we go to watch the Dodgers: http://ballparkreviews.com/template2.php?in_name=… and the Angels: http://ballparkreviews.com/template2.php?in_name=…— February 23, 2012 10:50 p.m.

You should go over to Phoenix and watch some spring training. The parks are about 10-12k avg. and the ticket prices are pretty good. You can usually get a good seat under $20 and a lot of them have lawn seating areas that are about $10. If you like minor league ball, then you'll like spring training because that's about the quality of play early on. Here's a link to a good info site.

Haven't been to a game in SD in a very long time. But trust me when I say that the grass can is pretty green in Chavez also. If you know what I mean!! Glad to see you contributing again. I enjoy your writing, especially when it is about baseball.— February 23, 2012 5:14 p.m.

Nothin' quite like the smell of freshly cut grass in the spring and women in shorts and bikini tops in the summer! Baseball, America's favorite past time.— February 23, 2012 10:44 a.m.

Hikers stumble upon marijuana plantation in Cuyamaca State Park
A federal law enacted in 2010 allows for the carrying of firearms in any national park, provided that's in compliance with the firearms laws of the park's home state. The only regulations specific to use of weapons in a national forest is that you cannot discharge a weapon within 150 yards of any structure/development or occupied area, within or into a cave, across or on a road or body of water, or in any manner that endangers a person, that you can't use any tracer or incendiary ammunition and that you also comply with all State laws regarding the use of firearms. Remember, national parks and national forests are run by different depts.— February 21, 2012 4:58 p.m.
