San Diego Gas & Electric Co. is relieved that temperatures eased Tuesday and Wednesday and “flex alerts” were no longer needed. The alerts urged customers to reduce their power use during the hottest times of the day—and lessen the risk of rolling blackouts. But some observers—such at U-T San Diego columnist Roger Hedgecock—wonder what the local utility is doing to shore up energy supplies. And what about the regular requests for rate increases? Does SDG&E lack energy in developing new power sources?
Exelon's top executives were early and frequent supporters of Mr. Obama as he rose from the Illinois State Senate to the White House. John W. Rogers Jr., a friend of the president's and one of his top fund-raisers, is an Exelon board member. David Axelrod, Mr. Obama's longtime political strategist, once worked as an Exelon consultant, and Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago mayor and Mr. Obama's former chief of staff, helped create the company through a corporate merger in 2000 while working as an investment banker. With energy an increasingly pivotal issue for the Obama White House, a review of Exelon's relationship with the administration shows how familiarity has helped foster access at the upper reaches of government and how the outcome, in some cases, has been favorable for Exelon. White House records show that Exelon executives were able to secure an unusually large number of meetings with top administration officials at key moments in the consideration of environmental regulations that have been drafted in a way that hurt Exelon's competitors, but curb the high cost of compliance for Exelon and its industry allies. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/us/politics/ties-to-obama-aided-in-access-for-exelon-corporation.html?pagewanted=all
Hum, not much of a choice, is it??????????????
[...] According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the firm received $6.9 million from Arkansas Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's Quick Action Closing Fund, and $8 million from the state's Economic Infrastructure Fund. It also received a 25-year corporate income tax exemption, sales-tax refunds on building materials and equipment, and a 5 percent rebate on new payroll for 10 years. "Today we celebrate the result of this successful partnership," Beebe announced in 2008 when LM Wind Power opened its doors. Beebe has been an ardent supporter of subsidizing wind energy. ... Gov. Beebe's office did not return multiple requests for comment. In place of real energy, Democrats focus on an imaginary world where government-subsidized windmills and solar panels can power the American economy. This vision has failed. Government has no business picking winners and losers ... it should focus its "investment" in research ... and let the market decide when, where, and if wind energy is competitive enough to survive and prosper ... and do so on its own." http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2012/08/another_wind_co.php?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

If the federal government would give homeowners and businesses the same amount in subsidies they have thrown to the corporations for destructive and dangerous wind turbine projects, we would be well on our way to controlling our own electrical generation. SDG&E could be required to pay homeowners and business at retail rates for excess power they send to the grid. While that would benefit the people, it would mean less profit for SDG&E. We certainly can form a non-profit ratepayer owned utility for electrical power generation with solar.
Why are you not printing comments on the Mansion Mysteries that support that Rebecca Zahau committed suicide because she hurt Max Shacknai? Why are you only printing comments that state the Shacknais or Romanos killed RZ, when they have been cleared by police and her death ruled a suicide? Why don't you care about the death of a little 6-year old boy???
Whether or not "SDG&E doing all it can to supply reliable power at reasonable costs" don't be surprised when the rates sky-rocket in 2013 when California's Cap & Trade goes into effect. Hint: Cap & Trade is so detrimental to economy - both business and residents - that even Obama & Co did not pass it. Quick fact: Carbon Monoxide (CO) - not a "green house gas". CO emissions are reduced in automobiles and electric generation facilities via a catalyst process - known as a "catalytic converter". Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - a "green house gas" - is the target of the Cap & Trade mafia - and is the natural byproduct of Catalytic Converters ... No realistic abatement process has yet been designed to control CO2 emissions - and so no end is in sight for reducing these emissions - only an indefinite cash cow for CO2 Traders - paid for by US.
