| #6 I have no pity or compassion for the people of California, they deserve their fate and much worse. Yes, they certainly do. Unfortunately the Californians are metastasizing out of California and bringing their insanity to wherever they land. It is becoming a BIG problem here in Texas. Some folks in these here parts are talking about setting a bounty on them. I'm of the opinion it would be easier to just quarantine the Sate of California. |

| #5 California had the chance to do this in the sixties but it was stopped by environmentalists who sued the corporation out of the funds to do it. The corp won, but no longer had the money. I have no pity or compassion for the people of California, they deserve their fate and much worse. |

| #2 The company is paying for the research, constuction, launch, and operations. The PUC was just giving the green light to sell the electricity to PG&E. Don't laugh but they are based in Armenia and some of their projects look like like they were built in the 1920s, but I guess they work. |

| #1 No mention of where the funding comes from and the costs. Carbon taxes anyone? |
