#1 Once they shut down that last power plant they'll be 100% dependent on those highly vulnerable (ask Baluchistan) 'extension cords.'

#2 I love the way these urban dwellers consider themselves "green", any urban dweller is among the most "non green" of humans anywhere. Hopefully the 'Big One" isnt very far off for california

#3 Sure, guys. Go ahead. I mean, we'd never DREAM of cutting off your power if you give us to much of a hard time.

#4 This is nothing new. Back in the '20's I think SF took over The Hetch-hetchy valley, blocked it with The O'Shaunessy Dam and drowned the "most beautiful valley " (per John Muir) in the Sierra's for their water supply. On the other hand, I spent a few weekends at one of the cabins they supplied to water dept workers up there, so I guess I'm part of the problem.

#5 #4 - that dam was featured prominently in Ken Burns' series about the National Parks last year, very informative. One of the nicest things about being a San Fran environmentalist is that s/he can mess up the environment and enjoy the benefits along with a feeling of superiority while someone else far away has to deal with the adverse consequences.
