    I heard that on the radio this morning. I used to live in the shadow
    of the hill upon which the center resides. Beautiful campus on the
    top of a hill adjacent to a county park. Two separate 115KV feeders
    supply power to the facilities (I watched one fail during a winter
    storm a few years ago - a connector where the feeder made a 90
    degree turn was flapping in the wind - causing an explosion every
    time it contacted the tower).

    The "Silicon Valley Lab", aka Santa Teresa Lab is actually south
    of Almaden (by less than a mile), not east as the Register proclaims.
