Oh my.
franksolich's eighth cousin three times removed, or third cousin eight times removed, or something like that. The pie-and-jam primitive's working on it now, to straighten it out.
Anyway.

INSIGHTS AND REACTIONS TO CPUC DECISION ON POWER PLANTS
Approval of Escondido power plant restart triggers local generation charge to ratepayers
Story and photos by Nadin Abbott
March 21, 2013 (San Diego)—East County residents savored victory following the California Public Utilities Commission’s unanimous rejection today of Quail Brush, a gas-fired power plant proposed near Mission Trails. Commissioners also rejected the Pio Pico plant in Otay Mesa, but approved refiring an Escondido power plant.
But according to Lane Sharman, co-founder with Bill Powers of the San Diego Energy District Foundation, a grassroots group trying to get community based utilities, this vote did something else. It added one more tax to your utility bill. Not only are rate payers to pay for energy distribution and transmission distribution, but now a local generation charge as well. Effectively, ratepayers will be subsidizing utilities, according to Sharman.

This story is important since it might be a trend setter... No, not because it is San Diego, but the idea of local municipalities forming local utilities using distributive networks matters. For the record. Marin county is already on the way. San Diego is following, and due to size it will matter.
So if you are interested in climate change, this is one of those stories that might be precedent setting...and yes, I wish my local mayor all the luck in the world, he's leading.

1. Kick
The above's the whole campfire; apparently this isn't a topic that gets the primitives all agog and excited.
But what makes this noteworthy, even praiseworthy, and possibly even unique, is that there are NO spelling or grammatical errors. None. Zero. Zilch.

Maybe her fictional spirit-guide ghostwrote it for her.

I went through it with a fine-toothed comb.
This after all is nadin, the oblate spheroid, franksolich's cousin.
There had to be mistake, and more likely, six or half a dozen of them.
But nope.

Maybe if it would have posted this in latest breaking news it might get more buzz...or not.
Seriously, why would I gave a damn about Escondido when I don't really give a crap about komifornia, DU is not a local news source.
Oh wait!...wasn't it Escondido that some folkes here want it to cover?
So this *is* a thing right?
Edit: Whoops, Ensenada right?!?

Close though. They both start with "E" and contain letters. They're usually closer to being the same than nadin is to being correct.

Who should pay for your utillities? The Russians?

I read the whole thing. It sure doesn't sound like what she normally writes. Are you sure someone else didn't do it for her?

3. At what point does one realize no one else is interested?

The phrase "kicking a dead horse" comes to mind.

4. Interested?
Everyone who's remotely interested doesn't bother to respond because they've been placed on her ignore list.
I'm just saying.

Wandered over to see if anything else was new.
