The State mandates about power generation were mentioned but the impact was not. If subsidies lapse, the cost to generate power from alternate sources will drive the cost of electric service to business and homeowners much higher in States like ours. What a screwy outcome arrives with short sighted ideas whose time has not yet come.

The key here is for them to have a diversified energy plan. Going all wind or all solar or all (insert renewable resource here) is a good way to have the grid fail. But even the diversified plan needs to be phased in over time so we don't have a catastrophic grid failure.
33% Wind 33% Solar 34% Nuclear/Gas + whatever else is out there would be a good balance. Add in another 33% of back up gas and we could be in a good spot.
Now the only hold up is someone realizing all of this.

Didn't you leave out the decimal? .33% is more like reality. Wind and large generation via solar is tilting at windmills. We don't need it because: 1. We will have plenty of gas and oil for a long time. 2. CO2 is not an issue since it is good for the Earth. 3. Long term, Fusion will supply electricity and hydrogen/electricity will replace transportation power. |
