RENEWABLE ENERGY
"Kern's green energy boom: Firms grabbing land, for wind, solar" (Bakersfield Californian, 8/11/08)
"Applications for utility-scale renewable energy projects have flooded into local permitting agencies the past two years, driven by state mandates and a scramble by companies for a piece of land in Kern’s sunny and windy open terrain. The trend has positioned Kern to become one of the state’s major producers of clean energy ... The Bureau of Land Management is currently processing two dozen applications for wind and solar projects in the eastern Kern desert. Meanwhile, the Kern County Planning Department has received applications for wind and solar as well as a biogas pipeline and sludge-to-energy plant."

"SDG&E lagging behind in state deadline for renewable energy" (KPBS radio San Diego, 8/11/08)
"SDG&E's strategy is to rely on construction of the proposed 1.5 billion dollar Sunrise PowerLink transmission line.

It's just waiting for the mechanism and the transmission to be able to bring it out of that valley.' But Edison is spending almost half a billion dollars less on its solar project than SDG&E wants to spend on the Sunrise Powerlink."

"Laws are requiring utilities to bulk up on renewable energy sources and lose the coal … fast ... Locally, the project that comes to mind is Green Path North ... Not too far away ... is San Diego Gas and Electric Company’s preferred route for a high-powered transmission line of its own ... We believe in the near future, there will be ways for Californians to use renewable energy without permanently damaging the environment those renewables are supposed to be preserving. But ... politicians must throttle back on scattershot mandates and allow renewable energy technologies to be developed, tested and proven to benefit the environment and humanity as a whole, not simply big cities and certain manufacturers."

"Proposal to harness wind power off Mendocino Coast worries fishing industry" (Sacramento Bee, 8/11/08)
"Wind power off California's coast is now just a thought among power developers, and there are no concrete plans to erect turbines at sea. But optimism is fueled by NASA and university studies indicating wind over waters off picturesque Cape Mendocino is strong and consistent enough to become one of the nation's best sources of electricity. Offshore wind and wave technologies are promising, but they're untried. They also raise concerns about potential damage to the coast's prized vistas and fish industry. One proposal to draw electricity from waves off the Mendocino coast already has generated problems for developers, government agencies and coastal residents."

WILDLIFE TRIVIA answer and related websites
(c.) They find food in campsites or garbage cans
SOURCE: "Black Bear - Ursus americanus" (BLM California wildlife database)
As they find food in urban areas they lose their fear of humans and could become quite aggressive. For this reason, people who live in areas where bears are present should make their garbage cans bear-proof and keep their land clean. When camping, food should be stored in lockers that are specially designed to keep bears out. If the lockers aren't available the food should be kept in the trunks of cars. As long as bears are not invited into areas inhabited by humans, they will maintain their fear of humans.

 IN THE NEWS: "Bear activity on the rise in Owens Valley" (Inyo Register, 8/11/08)
Owens Valley is getting more bears, earlier in the year. One recently made off with pet goats. The California Department of Fish and Game issued "a depredation permit, which allows landowners to destroy the animal themselves or they can hire a trapper to do it ... given to owners whose livestock or other properties have been attacked by wildlife, but have not yet caused an immediate threat to humans or the general population ... Wildlife that become a public safety hazard and threat to humans are destroyed by official agencies." Wildlife officials try to educate tourists not to leave food where bears can get it, because "a fed bear is a dead bear."
