Replace the Sunrise Powerlink Proposal

Posted December 2nd, 2007 by ucansue

 Replace Sunrise with the San Diego Union's business model!  This solar panel installation leasing model article is exactly what SDG&E should offer as an alternative to the Sunrise Powerlink and/or other proposals. Because this model offers many benefits, it "could" be a win-win for everyone.

If PUC figured that if they guaranteed a return of 12% to a pool of investors who financed a solar water/electric package for homes younger than 20 years old ( make a standard form property tax/charge similar to other utility assessments on our "property tax bill") and who's average monthly utility bill was greater than $200/month it would be better for all us than putting more money in SDGE pockets. Obviously they would need to rule that SDGE would need to "get out of the way" to let this happen- minimise the expensive interfaces they currently demand.
This not only makes environmental sense but money sense as well- as well as providing jobs in a tough economy.
