"A new $800,000 solar project at Death Valley National Park, photovoltaic panels at the state-of-the art visitors center at Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and a solar power system at the U.S. Forest Service's new facility at Mono Lake are among dozens of taxpayer-funded projects in Southern California on hold as the federal agencies try to hash out an agreement with SCE to tie the projects to the state's electrical grid."
It seems as if Southern California Edison won't sign a contract that exempts the federal government from liability in case something goes wrong and the federal government is prohibited from entering into such an agreement.
Somebody should have sorted this out before construction even began.
