A $3 billion pumped-water energy storage project has been proposed along Isabella Lake that would help even out power delivery from California solar and wind farms at a volume and longevity dwarfing the large battery installations envisioned for eastern Kern.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is reviewing a Walnut engineering company s plan to create a new reservoir above the lake then use pumps and underground pipes to turn it into a rechargeable dam and hydroelectric generator putting out a whopping 2,000 megawatts of power for up to 12 hours at a time.
Optimistically, the project could open within six years but remains in such an early stage that its environmental impacts haven t been studied and its eventual owners or operators haven t been identified, said the head of the company behind the proposal, Power Tech Engineers Inc., whose principals have experience with similar projects elsewhere.

Last month, we at FanGraphs put out a call for broadcaster ratings. The votes are now in. Starting yesterday and continuing today, we are releasing a compilation of those rankings, as well as selected commentary from each team’s responses. A similar survey of radio broadcasts will follow early next year, with a final summation at some point after that.
As a refresher, our survey asked for scores on four axes. If you’d like a thorough explanation of them, as well as a listing of each team’s broadcast groups, you can read our articles for the East, Central, and West divisions. I’ll also recap them briefly here before starting off with the bottom third of the league.

The voice of the Angels sells Dodgers championship T-shirts [Los Angeles Times :: BC-BBA-ANGELS-ROJAS:LA]
LOS ANGELES The holiday shopping season is on, and with it the hunt for merchandise to commemorate the Dodgers’ first World Series championship since 1988. One T-shirt is particularly eye-catching, with its homages to Vin Scully, the Dodgers’ classic uniform, and the hexagonal Dodger Stadium scoreboard.
Who sells that shirt? The voice of the Angels.
The “It’s Time for World Champions Baseball!” shirt is the newest item in the collection of Big Fly Gear, a boutique apparel company run by Angels broadcaster Victor Rojas and his family.

The “It’s Time for World Champions Baseball!” shirt is the newest item in the collection of Big Fly Gear, a boutique apparel company run by Angels broadcaster Victor Rojas and his family.
Rojas, his wife, and the couple’s two teenagers run the business out of their Texas home. He collaborates in designs, stuffs T-shirts into packages for shipping, sends handwritten notes and makes telephone calls to thank customers. He just might be the person on the other end of your email question.
