SDG&E to build, buy 100 megawatts of solar power (12)
In a move that could dramatically increase the amount of green power generated locally, state regulators have approved a proposal allowing San Diego Gas & Electric to build its own solar farms here and buy power from others who build them. This has the potential to change the landscape around San Diego as big rooftops, parking lots and large fields sprout solar panels to feed the grid.

"This will help get more solar built and directly...

The juice's uneven consistency, as well as the many strawberry seeds contained therein, suggested it emerged within the past two days from a small blender and not two months ago from a commercial-sized processing tank.

Depending upon how you look at it, perhaps that is exa...
