The country is going bankrupt, energy is now becoming scarce (aka Jimmy Carter/Oboma) and using the man made perfect storm to ram his earth agenda through.

If people want to pass gas into a balloon and store it, stop eating meat, stop crapping everyday to just 1 time a week then go for it.

Oil is naturally occurring it is not running out, the earth is not 500 billion years old and oil is not coming from dinosaurs.

Once the welfare population and illegals vote Oboma in for a 2nd term watch out, and the end of country is near.

Clean energy: Costs rising for California consumers
http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/Latest-News-Wires/2011/1113/Clean-energy-Costs-rising-for-California-consumers

Typical coal fired plant is ~$30 Mw/hr. Nuclear about the same. A bit of surfing will reveal that solar is the most expensive form of energy production.

“We could probably get almost 500 megawatts of renewable energy for the price we’re paying for this 250 megawatts.”

Really? Solar power is “peak time” generation. It’s is the most valuable power you can buy, especially in California.

So how much is PG& E paying per megawatt? $60, $80? Do you even know?

I think this opinion piece is cursory and most likely written by the detractors of renewable energy.

What it didn’t mention is that California has now installed a gigawatt of solar power and the price per KWH hasn’t really gone up at all.

So what will Californians be doing during the night, after the sun sets and the Mojave desert things stop producing electricity?

Just saying.

Sean the solar, if indeed we are fighting wars for oil then the logical action to take is to open up all our lands here to get what’s underfoot. As far as destroying our planet goes, fossil fuels are directly responsible for our health and prosperity over the last century and a half. Far from destroying our planet they have freed us up to act on cleaning our water and air to unprecidented levels. That statement doesn’t reflect reality but you’re entitled to your opinion of course.
