Open Thread for Wednesday

Pix from the LA Times

Here are a few topics of interest to get you started:

Despite the best efforts of Steve Lopez, Mayor V still refuses to debate anyone before the March 3rd election!

Those pesky supergraphic building wrap ads just keep popping up! The City has imposed a fine of $2500 per month for those is violation but when the rental rate for displaying the ads can reach $100,000 per month, $2500 is a bargain trade-off!

While everyone is up in arms about Measure B, the DWP has quietly made a tentative deal to purchase 100MW of geothermal power from Mexico's Cerro Prieto geothermal generating station. In addition, Sempra Energy is on track to purchase 250MW of power from the La Rumorosa wind power project being constructed in this near-border town east of Tijuana. Now if those silly drug lords would just stop killing everybody.



There you go, the rest of this thread is up to you...behave yourself companeros!
