I am not sure you realize this, but you just repeated word for word what SDG&E says about photovoltaic.

So I will challenge you to look at two places. Israel, who started using solar over forty years ago for strategic reasons. Does it mean they are truly energy independent? No, not really, but they have reduced their dependence in civilian areas by quite a bit.

Look at Germany, they use a mixture of diatributive and centralized energy production. Sempra does not want you to look at either of these examples. They are truly a nightmare scenario for them. They are a direct attack on their business model.

Right now they want to continue to build on the 20th century model where yes, they control all points from production to your light switch.

The type of solar you're talking about, photovoltaic, only work during the day.. Fumesucker Aug 2012 #14

We should still be building PVs despite what you cite as a "storage" problem Kolesar Aug 2012 #15

I don't disagree with that.. Fumesucker Aug 2012 #18

Tell me, why are you repeating large electrical companies talking points? nadinbrzezinski Aug 2012 #19

Because you appeared to be advocating going entirely solar.. Fumesucker Aug 2012 #20

Wrong, what I am advocating is understanding that all nadinbrzezinski Aug 2012 #21
