That figures. SDG&E is trying to get approval for a transmission line out into the desert, ostensibly for a solar facility.

There is much speculation and furor here in San Diego that what they really want is to pretend they are going to put a solar plant out there and then change the game and put in a fossil fuel plant instead.

This pretty much proves that the fossil fuel plant is their goal.

If so it seems there is something of a consortium, trying to figure out how to use the solar fervor to benefit fossil fuel providers.

Some one is greasing palms, just like Enron & company did a few years ago. That swindle is why CA is bankrupt right now.

I was afraid a push-back might happen at some point in time with the "for profit" utilities but not this soon.

I'm fortunate that I'm on a not for profit utility, Seattle City Light, owned by the City of Seattle. They want people to install PV's or solar thermal to heat water on their roofs and reduce power demands on the utility.

Thanks for the story.
