BEHIND THE MWs

Redondo Beach City Council willing to work with AES over new plant proposal 

 

The Redondo Beach City Council has voted unanimously to pursue an agreement with AES to find alternative uses for the company's land after hearing from municipal employees who said the city was devoting too much money to fighting a new power plant.

 

The council also instructed staff members to identify a land-use economist who could develop a valuation for the 50-acre site along Harbor Drive where the company's existing power plant stands. AES has applied for a permit for a new plant from the California Energy Commission because the existing one uses an ocean-water cooling system that is being phased out by new regulations.

TOOLS YOU CAN USE

The safest place to be when an energized power line falls on your car is inside that car until the line is de-energized. If you must leave the car because of fire or other danger, jump away from the vehicle so no part of you touches the vehicle and ground at the same time. Land with both feet together, then shuffle away. Take very small steps and keep your feet in contact with each other and the ground constantly.
