August 30, 2000 California Public Utilities Commission Investigation 00-08-002 San Diego Convention Center SDC EMPHASIZED Southern California Should NEVER Have Blackouts Due to Air Conditioning Electricity Demands Because Building-Integrated Photovoltaics [BI-PV] Are Readily Available To Provide Clean Noise-Free Solar Electricity Through Aesthetic Building Materials!

May 1998 to Present SDC Has Emphasized Throughout This Rulemaking 99-10-025 and Rulemaking 98-12-015 the Need To Address Anti-competitive Business Practices by Enron, Amoco and British Petroleum Suppressing Photovoltaics Manufacturing Since Amoco's Brutal Takeover of the Solarex Corporation in 1984. The Unregulated Actions of These Businesses Have Created A Shortage of BI-PV Product and Thereby the Price of Electricity Higher Than It Would Be Otherwise!
