What's next with the Sunrise Powerlink?

Thank you to everyone who attended the "Sunrise Powerlink" hearings in Borrego Springs yesterday. Attendance estimates were 650-700 people--a strong showing for a hearing that required San Diegans to drive more than an hour over the mountains into the desert on a Monday!

Four of the five Commissioners from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) were there: Peevey, Simon, Gruenich, and Bohn. The five CPUC Commissioners will be the ones voting whether to approve the "Sunrise Powerlink."
