WHAT IF YOU could look into the minds of corporate Spinmeisters and discern the truth?

Years ago, (according to the legend that we just made up), UCAN’s Executive Director gained this amazing ability after an industrial accident involving SDG&E’s poorly-maintained transformers. Now, you can experience first-hand what it is like to see the truth with X-ray vision in dazzling 3D
through the eyes of Michael Shames. Just remember, “With great power comes great responsibility.”

Michael Shames Cross Examining a sweating an untruthful corporate evildoer

Books, disco glasses, debris exploding everywhere

Editor's Note: In recent months, SDG&E's poorly maintained power lines and transformers have plunged commercial and residential districts into darkness and have been blamed for forcing 300,000 San Diego residents to flee their homes. It is worth noting that rather than fix its decaying network, SDG&E seeks to build the focus-group-named "Sunrise Powerlink" to import more power into San Diego. SDG&E has made false statements about the necessity of the Sunrise Transmission Project, by declaring false energy emergencies that were caused by faulty transformers in order to stir up support for uneccessary project. See "Why Sunrise must be terminated."

I am appalled by the

I am appalled by the sophomoric tactics used by M. Shames' to insight public wrath against the Big Corporation. Could you please provide facts, rather than demeaning cartoons, to support your assertions? Thanks.

Over 800 pages of facts for those who are appalled

This is a case where the truth is actually stranger and more appalling than our comic book version. To get the facts behind the Sunrise Power Link, visit http://www.ucan.org/energy/electricity/sunrise_powerlink/ucan_opening_br...

dude, this rocks....

Wow..a real-life fictional hero...
Pls. take the background out of the fine print, though (weave it more into the story?). Isn't fine print what SDGE and the regulatory process thrive on?
A stunning effort,,,

SDG&E comic

LOVE it! The truth of SDG&E's skullduggery is finally coming into full view! Hopefully the CA-PUC will see thru the SDG&E smokescreens and deceptions!! Keep up the good work, Michael and UCAN staff!!

Thank you UCAN

Thank you, UCAN for all of the great work that you do! It is much appreciated. Thanks for fighting for the little people!

comic book is awesome dude

awesome work i feel like i need to get shocked so i can be like that and read mines that so cool good job yall kept on making good work!!!

Superb!

UCAN has always been a premiere source of information on consumers’ rights and the dissemination of corporate shenanigans most outlets miss completely… (Though in all fairness, Sempra/SDGE is probably phenomenally more corrupt than most, and have plenty of smoke and mirrors at their disposal.) I have been a great fan of your work since I first ran across your publication (the Watchdog as well as your revamped website)…but even I didn’t think you could entertain AND educate as you did with this comic piece!

I hope, for the sake of your readership, you continue to refine, surprise and engage the readership. And if you can do so by adding an edge of levity to the whole endeavor, then so much the better! (And as a bit of a comic connoisseur myself, kudos for the twist by using the 3D angle!)
