Edison shutting down San Onofre permanently
From the web: I'm counting on the NRC to complete all its investigations into what was going on at San Onofre and especially how SCE was able to build their 465 million dollar RSG without going through a CFR 50.59 process, which includes public hearings. Sweeping all the investigations "under the rug" will be a dis-service to both those that reported what was happening at San Onofre and to the NRC's role as a regulator to the nuclear industry! The NRC should be issuing fines and or other types of enforcement as well a re-thinking one of its core beliefs that only one SG tube can ever fail at any one time which San Onofre proved could happen!— June 10, 2013 10:46 a.m.

Agreed, but I enjoyed the cover image, especially from the UT— June 10, 2013 10:45 a.m.

Now southern California has yet another reason to install more rooftop solar, that way we can get more free Energy from the sun (after payback) and while also eliminating the need for RISKY nuclear... If SCE, SDG&E and the CPUC will not enable us to do that then they are guilty of using their status as a public Utility to act more like a Public Monopoly, which worries more about its shareholders than they do the ratepayers!— June 8, 2013 4:58 p.m.
Sheriff's helicopter "struck by laser"
Green Lasers are especially dangerous for helicopter pilots since they are more powerful than red lasers plus since most non military helicopters are not designed to be flown on autopilot unlike most modern airplanes should the pilots vision be damaged by the lasers intense light. Since the pilot is essentially always maintaining the helicopter in level flight, if the pilot loses his perspective of the horizon, it would in most cases lead to a crash, since the helicopter cannot fly itself...— June 8, 2013 4:50 p.m.

Edison shutting down San Onofre permanently
Ratepayers want low cost, SAFE energy and Solar is now ready to provide it. There are only three things standing in the way of FIXING our energy problem: Our powerful Utilities, who want to keep us in Energy Slavery, so that we will be forced to purchase our energy from them instead of producing it ourselves for FREE (after the initial payback). Our appointed regulators, who have a too cozy relationship with the very Utilities they regulate! They have been putting Utility shareholder profits ahead of following their sworn mandate and demanding that our "public" utilities provide energy to US at the lowest cost possible! Example: Why should Utilities be allowed to rip off residential solar panel owners by not reimburse them for the energy they add to the grid at the very same rate that the Utility pays itself when it adds energy to the grid? This would "level" the energy playing field and greatly reduce the payback periods of owning your own panels, which would make installing solar even a better deal! Our Political Leaders are beholden to the Powerful Utilities because of large Utility donations and have been until recently hesitant to propose changes to "how the energy game is played" but now with a shrinking economy, the public resistance to ever higher energy costs and record Utility shareholder profits, energy is becoming a HOT political issue that Political Leaders cannot ignore any longer, if they want to stay in office or get elected.— June 7, 2013 12:25 p.m.
Charles Langley resigns from UCAN
Here are three articles about San Onofre from the web, posted by a favorite writer: [http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/southern-c…] [http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/san-onofre…] [http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/southern-c…] [1]: http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/southern-c… [2]: http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/san-onofre… [3]: http://www.energybiz.com/article/13/05/southern-c…— June 5, 2013 9:29 a.m.
Charles Langley resigns from UCAN
**GREAT Article and even better comments!** The 1.5 Billion Dollar debacle at San Onofre is but one of the Energy Issues that makes San Diego even more expensive to live in. UCAN needs to be replaced by a new board with members chosen by a public election or chosen by someone trustful like Don Bauder from a list of candidates. That would jump start our Energy "recovery" process and also allow San Diego to work with all the other groups seeking refunds from the CPUC because of SCE debacle! If those still remaining on the UCAN Board don't agree to resign, a a sign of good faith, then I say: ***it is time to replace UCAN because it has failed its public mandate***!— June 5, 2013 9:25 a.m.

Why Not Energy Freedom Instead of Ratepayer $lavery Ratepayers want low cost, SAFE energy and Solar is now ready to provide it.
