California law requires two gas-fired power plants in Oxnard be shut down because they use ocean water for cooling. The citizens of Oxnard refused to have another natural gas power plant built to replace them. Instead, a new battery storage facility has now come on line. KCSB’s Ray Briare has the details.

KCSB

The Saticoy Energy Storage Site

A non-commercial, educational FM station broadcasting for the public interest, KCSB enters into no commercial contracts which allow access to the airwaves and it strives to provide programming substantially different from that carried by commercial broadcast media. It is also designed to be educational for both programmers and listeners. UCSB students and other programmers are provided an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of radio broadcasting, both technically and in terms of broadcast content, and to explore more advanced aspects of broadcasting and the audio medium. KCSB insures that these opportunities are offered to a diverse community, especially people who are traditionally underrepresented in broadcasting.
