San Onofre Shut Down - What's Next??
San Onofre accounted for 9% of energy used in California. Because it is being shut down, energy is going to be tight in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego Counties. Southern California shouldn't be expecting brown-outs or planned blackouts - as long as everyone responds to the energy conservation warnings. There are many energy producing buildings under construction now, and even more that will be under construction within the next year, so Southern California will not be under the energy conservation watch for long.
