"[San Diego Office Interiors] is a small business, and, by virtue of our mission, we are in contact with many, many businesses - both large and small - that are locating or expanding in San Diego. Many of them are high-tech or biotech and are highly dependent on reliable power. I support the Sunrise Powerlink because I believe it is the best option to ensure businesses have the energy they need to grow, thrive and compete."
    -- Vince Mudd, President, San Diego Office Interiors

"We can't afford to wait several more years for new transmission lines in the area. We can't afford to jeopardize our economy by creating an environment of unpredictable energy supplies from year to year."
