To the editor: There’s a way more cost-effective answer for re-electrifying Altadena after the fireplace: Go photo voltaic (“Altadena requested Edison to bury energy strains. Some hearth victims say that would price them $40,000,” Feb. 17). For a similar price (or much less) as Southern California Edison’s reconnection price, a property proprietor may buy a solar energy and battery system. Constructing a house is the right time to put in photo voltaic and it will pay for itself over just a few years’ time. Why affirm a lifetime subscription to a public utility asking house owners to pay for the chance to purchase electrical energy transferred over Edison energy strains?
Altadenans ought to take this chance to leap into the long run as they rebuild. Politicians ought to assist residents discover methods to finance this soar with low-interest loans or grants.
Rebuild and restore Altadena’s beloved neighborhoods and paved the way to a solar-powered future for the entire USA.
