Solar energy: An article in the Feb. 5 Section A about the wide-ranging effects of large-scale solar energy projects said that the ratepayer advocate’s office of the California Public Utilities Commission had estimated that customers would be charged 50% more for energy derived from renewable sources. The PUC itself, not the advocate’s office, reported that the price of renewable power more than doubled between 2003 and 2011. It did not estimate the cost to customers.

Book review: In the Arts & Books section elsewhere in this edition, a review of the novel “History of a Pleasure Seeker” says that the book’s author, Richard Mason, is not yet 25 years old. In fact, Mason is 33. The error was detected after the section went to press.
