To the rest of the world LA is only a glamorous sparkling utopia. It's so enlightening to see the 'bare bones' of necessity. Your pics are always so telling.

Then, to find out what buses went to where, I had to call a telephone number, which meant being on hold for a long time. It's much easier now, just look at the necessary website. I didn't realize I would like taking photos of the power grid, but sure enough, I did. I really like the black and white effect. @ David Thank you. I think LADWP is using mostly wind and solar energy for their alternative fuels. Personally, I loved what the Metro did with their Service Center, leading by example. @ Kevin When I was much younger and lived in Washington DC, I didn’t own a car and used public transportation for all my needs.

The anticipated growth statistics for the DWP to increase their alternative energy from 2005 to the anticipated increase to 35% by 2020 is an astonishing percentage growth. I didn't know about the Green Power for a Green LA program either. I'm curious as to what kinds of power they'll substitute in for the clean fuel. I'll also have to wholeheartedly agree with Kevin --a gifted Photographer in his own right--that industrial images are haunting and beautiful. All in all a very well researched story with great visuals and photos. Kudos. Lisa, a very interesting article.

In the small community I live in we have amazing bus service and while I was in Europe last year I marveled at how well the public transportation systems work over there. It's great to see Los Angeles is taking this seriously! I like the utility company images. I have always found industrial sites to have a strange beauty, not necessarily gorgeous but very graphic and well, interesting. They are a necessity, the lines and transformers required regardless of what you use to generate the power. <abbr><em>Kevin’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.kevinokephotography.com/wordpress/2009/05/the-lowly-dandelion/" rel="nofollow">The Lowly Dandelion</a></abbr></em> Don’t you love it when public transportation works as well as driving your own vehicle?
