July 15, 2014 (San Diego’s East County)—San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) is the first utility company in the nation to be approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to test the use of small, unmanned drone aircraft for monitoring electric and gas lines.
The company announced that this will improve safety and response times, but the announcement is also drawing criticism for the lack of public input and potential environmental issues.
