Listen Later

It’s Tuesday, January 10th. Here’s a roundup of news stories in and around San Diego County. Here’s what John Riley thinks:

San Diego: The Need for more Water Infrastructure
  • The feast and famine cycle of droughts and floods in California
  • Assemblyman Vince Fong
    • https://www.kusi.com/san-diego-leaders-call-for-critical-investment-into-water-infrastructure/
    • Positive Developments in San Diego County with Desal Plant, Pure Water recycling, expansion of San Vicente Dam.
    • Some cities installing cisterns beneath parks to capture and store water.
    • Poway making progress on water infrastructure.
      • SDG&E: Gas Prices
      • https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/story/2023-01-06/if-natural-gas-prices-across-the-country-are-dropping-why-are-they-soaring-in-san-diego
      • Wholesale prices up more than 300% since January 2022
      • A household gas bill that came to about $105 last January is now estimated to leap to about $225 this month. That’s an increase of 114 percent. 
      • Prices are about current conditions and a view of the future
      • It almost always comes down to supply and demand. But often there are policies that affect each.
      • Demand high in the West (rain, snow, cold) – but mild weather in the East
      • Approx 90% of supply comes from out of state
      • Less supply – U.S. LNG exporters boosted shipments to Europe by more than 137% in the first 11 months of 2022 from the same period in 2021, according to data from Kepler, supplying more than half of Europe’s imported LNG and helping the region weather a more than 54% plunge in piped shipments from Russia.
        • https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-lng-exports-both-lifeline-drain-europe-2023-maguire-2022-12-20/
        • Biden administration considering ban on gas stoves. Due to asthma or climate change policy?
        • San Diego County Cities are already banning gas in new construction: San Diego, Encinitas, and possibly Del Mar.
        • What can you do? Be energy self-sufficient. Solar, battery, LED. Wear a sweater. Control what you can control.
          • Carlsbad: Traffic Calming, Roundabout
          • https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/carlsbad/story/2023-01-09/opinions-sought-on-roundabout-for-tamarack-and-carlsbad-boul
          • City asking for input for roundabout at Carlsbad Blvd (PCH) and Tamarack Ave.
          • Carlsbad already has one roundabout in development at Carlsbad Blvd and Cannon Road.
          • Discussion of roundabouts in Poway.

            • Thank you!
