Driving traffic to your blog with insults, Jane, only sews more discord and misinformation.
An informative, impartial review, for those who DO honor truth:

Comment on SunPower’s solar ranch kicks off a wave of larger solar projects [VIDEO] by Ashok

Ashok — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:04:23 +0000

Well, as you can see from this video, the cells are unspeakably iieffncient, and produce only 1.5 milliVolts. A car battery needs 12 volts. You do the math. The other issue you face is Amperage; the cell only put out 15.5 milliAmps, and a car requires 2 Amps. If you do the math, you’ll realize that either you’ll get too low of a voltage or too high of an amperage; to get the right numbers you have to wire the cells up differently; as in, wire them in series or in parallel.

Comment on PG&E agrees to $70 million reparation settlement after San Bruno fire by Daron

Daron — Sat, 19 May 2012 07:29:27 +0000

I am a resident of Hinkley CA. And we are still dealing with PG&E in negotiations in purchasing our home and trying to get the water board to do the right thing but they simply do not have the political power to get the job done PG&E are experts at doing the two step there are people in Hinkley that know and understand what the people of San Bruno are going threw and are very sad for the family and friends of those who have been affected by this criminally negligent corporation I wish our state governent would be as passionate as your mayor but I guess it isn’t in their homes. I truly hope that they pay dearly to those who have lost everything God Bless

Comment on California lawmakers take steps to regulate ‘fracking’ by Burkey

Burkey — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:01:17 +0000

Thanks for covering this. Far too little is being done and it seems fracking is actually quite widespread here. Part of the problem is that there is so little information–and so little ability of commercial news organizations to pursue and investigate properly.

Comment on Palo Alto’s budget woes threaten to close animal shelter by Scottie Zimmerman

I attended the Finance Committee meeting at Palo Alto’s City Hall this evening (Tues, May15, 2012). Well done on all sides! I am a volunteer at the animal shelter, and I admit to a pro-shelter bias. The pleasant surprise was that all the people who spoke were FAIR. Staff members James Keene and Pam Antil have a lot of information in their heads and clearly answered a number of detailed questions from the Council Members (Chair Nancy Shepherd, Vice Mayor Greg Scharff, Gail Price, and Patrick Burt). In addition, members of the public were given a chance to express their opinions and offer a variety of suggestions.

After attending two committee meetings at City Hall this week, I am impressed by the quality, intelligence, and character of the City Council and the staff. It is obvious that they have a tough job to do, and they work long hours doing it. Palo Alto can be proud!

Comment on Palo Alto’s budget woes threaten to close animal shelter by Jon

Alameda managed to keep its shelter open, in part from a city-volunteer partnership that helped close the budget gap.

The alternative is many, many animals will die.
