Southwestern College trustee resigns in protest
What's scary is that Zasueta seems to be doing just fine, still cashing in as a consultant and held up as a model educator. http://www.lbcc.edu/Foundation/governors3.cfm (scroll to bottom of page) Public education is broken. . . .— March 2, 2013 8:46 p.m.
The fix may be in on Pio Pico power plant
What's missing from this article is that all three projects are "peaker plants" intended to "supplement" industrial wind and solar installed further east in desert and chaparral areas. Those tax-subsidized projects have destroyed thousands of acres of wilderness--and will destroy thousands more with planned projects--with nary a peep from the mainstream press. Unfortunately, those who aren't directly affected by these massive installations buy the over-generalized "wind and solar are green are good" mind set. Standing under a wind turbine (one of a hundred in Ocotillo) the height of the tallest building in San Diego might give them another perspective. Pattern Energy's Ocotillo wind farm--poorly placed in an area rated "marginal" for wind speeds--went online in early December. Since then, with a few rare exceptions, the blades have barely turned. Hence, peaker plants. Follow the money: the only thing green about this power is the cash changing hands. A few resources on this issue: East County Magazine's exhaustive coverage, Ocotillo Wind Turbine Destruction on facebook, and SaveOcotillo on youtube and picturepush.com.— February 21, 2013 10:32 a.m.
