Are you wondering what that little white and blue card is, that all those people are putting into the parking meters? Are you tired of carrying coins around when youre going Downtown? Well if you havent figured it out already, you can buy parking meter cards.
These cards are like debit cards and can be used over and over throughout Downtown San Diego. Once youve purchased one, all you have to do is put it in a meter, wait for the desired amount of time to register on the meter, then pull it out. When youre done shopping, eating or whatever, just come back to the meter, put the card back in and collect the remaining time. Just keep in mind, if theres any time on the meter before you put the card in, you cant retrieve the remaining time when youre ready to leave(otherwise people would go around town, stealing peoples meter time).
The parking meter cards can be purchased for $10 or $45 dollars and you must pay by cash, or check “ no credit cards(although this may have changed at some locations). You can also reload a card, up to $49. Id strongly suggest you call ahead, to make sure they have cards and/or they can refill your card.
For those of us who spend a lot of time Downtown and drive, these parking meter cards are life savers. I keep one in my wallet, one in my car and one at my officejust in case I run out.

With the world slowly moving to the much-dreaded energy crisis, it is important that we reduce our dependency on non-renewable sources of energy. Non-renewable sources being renewable are about to get extinct. Renewable energy solutions refer to those energy solutions that can keep churning energy without exhausting the resources. Three types of energy solutions fall into the category of renewable energy solutions: solar energy solutions, hydro energy solutions, and wind energy solutions. Anyways, you can read more about it here…
