The Los Angeles Water and Power has proposed building a “Green Path” to carry thermal energy from under the Salten Sea to Los Angeles. The proposed Green Path North would carry the energy through the Coachella Valley, through wilderness preserves in the Morongo Basin, over the town of Oak Glen, north to Los Angeles. The Salten Sea has recently experienced a 4+ earthquake which was followed by numerous after shocks. Given the close proximity of the San Andreas Fault, as well as the fault activity under the Salten Sea, the question must be raised, “How safe would the proposed Green Path North be? And, “Do we want to risk our communities to supply Los Angeles with power?”
