Energy Planners Bracing for
No San Onofre in 2013
July 22--Although state and utility officials hope San Onofre will be producing some power as soon as this fall, they're scrambling to avoid a dark 2013 and 2014.
The nuclear plant north of Oceanside has been offline since January due to design flaws with both of its new generators. Officials from the plant's majority owner, Southern California Edison, hope to apply to nuclear regulators in September to restart one of the units at reduced capacity. But California's regulatory apparatus, along with Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric Co., have turned their attention to making sure the region can keep the lights on without San Onofre.

Comedy Corner
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep.
Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see."
Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes said: "and what do you deduce from that?"
Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life."
And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."
