Last Monday I found myself unable to cross Alpine Blvd and onto my way across South Grade Road and on up East Victoria to my job site. Instead, my work truck was funneled into a traffic pattern going in a completely different direction that I did not want to go. Forty minutes later I pulled up to my job site. I’m betting most all of you reading this have already had a very familiar experience in the war zone that exists in the very middle of our local economy.
Our local economy is already being impacted by the loss of several businesses in the affected construction zone. These businesses have had to close their doors and have now gone completely out of business as a direct result of the total chaos that is brewing on Alpine Blvd. Now, I attended the community meetings that were held to discuss the impact that the construction would cause, and I remember SDG&E’s politicians promising us that none of this would ever happen. In fact they told us the construction would boost our local economy? Are you now surprised?
The facts are that San Diego Gas and Electric has hired out of state contractors to complete Alpine’s portion of the Sunrise Power Link. Ask yourself the question “Why did they hire out of state contractors when California’s and San Diego’s construction economy is in such shambles?” This company is not our friend but a master of public relations and deception.
The Power Link’s thick, ultra high voltage power cables are being installed just three feet under the feet of our community’s men, women and sadly our young children. Folks, there has never been the proper research by an independent laboratory on the effects of magnetism, effects that are known to exist and are produced around high voltage power conducting cables. These tests should have been completed before the design was even drawn up and the results provided to our representatives and our community.
Our bodies are made up of 90-some percent water. Our flesh is maintained and kept healthy by many bio-chemical processes. These rather weak bio- chemical electric processes are influenced by magnetic fields that are generated around power transmission lines. These magnetic fields will be measurable as soon as SDG&E begins to push huge rivers of electricity through these monstrous transmission cables. These cables are being installed literally just three feet underground where the feet of our children will be walking. So as our citizens begin to feel the effects on their bodies, and they will, my prayer is that someone with the courage to hold the people responsible will do just that!
It does absolutely no good to get angry with the ordinary drones working in the street. So if you are angry about all this and don’t know how to vent off your anger I just might have a solution. Find ways to not use the electricity that flows through SDG&E’s power lines. Think of ways to use less. The only way SDG&E will listen to us is if their profits begin to shrink. The only way to achieve this is to stop using or use less of their power!
One of the best solutions out there is to install photo voltaic or solar electric gathering panels. These systems can be installed on your home’s roof or somewhere else on your property. A “grid tie” system is good but if you can install a standalone system that is even better. You see as the meter turns backward on a “grid tie” system, you don’t get paid any money when your electric meter hits the zero mark. You are simply supplying SDG&E with free energy.
In closing, it is the same principle when it comes to the gasoline in our cars. Look around you as we will be paying $ 5.00 a gallon very, very soon. So find ways to conserve fuel in your cars and trucks too. Join a car pool and make fewer trips down the hill. Stay at home more for a season and watch the prices at the pump drop. Buy cars and trucks that are better at conserving fuel not because of limited resources but just to fight back at these corporate oil and power companies that continue to manipulate, and rob us of our freedom. If the oil companies and power companies won’t lower their prices then let’s force them to make fewer profits by using less gasoline and electrical transmitted power. Is anyone with me?
