Rose, Yes they are certainly moving full steam ahead until a court tells them they can’t. We are still waiting for our Ninth Circuit ruling, and we will let you and all our supporters know as soon as we hear anything. Thanks for keeping us up to date. I’ve asked if there are any regulations regarding work hours on different parts of the project.

We are in El Monte Valley and have been wondering the same as Tom Myers. The helicopter activity in the valley over the past few weeks has intensified as SDGE ferries men and equipment back and forth incessently all day, and last night until dark. Are they pushing forward as fast as possible because of the imminent ruling?

Right now everyone at POC is holding our collective breath waiting for the Ninth Circuit to rule on our emergency motion for injunction. They have put our appeal on high priority and have promised to rule by August 31.

We have contributed to the POC legal effort to stop the SRPL, but get very little feedback. Today, SDGE started lowering equipment to install towers SE of Star Valley Road. They now are getting into Cleveland National Forest. What gives? What is happening in the courts? Can you give us any feedback? How about a news article for the Alpine SUN?

Comment on Alpine Town Hall Meeting Recap by Ann Leatherbury

We have been fighting SDG@E since October 2009 when we made them hold a public hearing where their project manager said they were going to do a “like for like” wood to steel pole replacement on the line running from the unregulated Orange Grove energy plant into Fallbrook. We fought them at the CPUC because they do not have an easement for the amount of capacity they currenty have on their line.We have owned this property since 1959.They have only a twelve foot easement and they are outside of it. We won twice at the CPUC but in NOV. one of the commission’s staff said they could proceed as long they settled with us. You can read our story in thevillagenews/SDGE poles or in the Ag Alert this week . Three weeks ago with no notice, out of nine miles of poles, they showed up at our property first with an army of subcontractors. They put up poles that are triple in size and thirty feet higher then our old poles. They cut our gate ,broke our bridge by taking cemment trucks across. We don’t have the financial means to fight this big corporation and they know it.They do not tell the truth and no one is monitoring them.They do retaliate. Your organization is wonderful and we will come to your rally but they have already started on the regridding with us. If you have any thoughts or ideas please email me, read our story. Thank You, Ann aleatherb@aol.com

Comment on The Future is Here: Locavolts by kathleen beck

Please read the September National Geographic article on Souther California Edison and their rooftop solar program. It puts SDG&E to task I believe, by setting such a great example for the rest of the country. Locavores eat local, locavolts use energy locally. Thanks to all who are doing this, or plan to in the near future…And remember, a volt saved is a volt earned!
