"Electric utility chief says separate charge for renewable power may
need to be rolled into all users' bills."

Believe it or not, with Cap and Trade, that's what we're all looking
at. With the administrations known antipathy towards nuclear and clean
coal technology, all of us are going to be paying much more for energy
that cannot be delivered effectively and efficiently at a reasonable
cost.

Just think about it - that's all.


Indeed, Tom, we shouldn't do, try, or think about doing or trying
anything. After all, we wouldn't want to interfere in any way with the
dividends from your oil company stock.

Moron.

Proving once again, that you didn't read it - just the head line.

You have truly gone right off the rail - what happened to the witty,
urbane and civil Harry the K?

Oh right- never existed.

I read the article, Tom. All of it. I understood it. I also understand
that the road towards energy independence is strewn with potholes.

"Clean coal technology." What a laugh. I've seen the coal/power company
commercials touting a line from Obama about clean coal technology. Even
funnier.

Nuclear is fine with me. I live only a few miles from a nuke plant, and
there is talk it is to be expanded with an additional reactor. Great.
Really.

I just rented a car for a week, drove from Denver to Minneapolis. The
rental car company wanted to know if I wanted to buy carbon credits? I
thought to myself about their offer. What benefit do I receive from
purchasing carbon credits? None, nada, zero, zip. I still have to pay
the same money for the rental car. I still have to pay the same money
for gas regardless of where I purchase it. I get absolutely no economic
benefit from paying carbon credits.

Before you pass judgment I was driving where every gas station had a
sign on the pump stating that the "fuel" contained at least 10% ethanol.

Saw some very nice windmills out on I-90 and I-94. Not enough of them to
make a dent in anything but the farmers power costs to pump water around
his 5000 to 10,000 acre farm. Too far away from civilization to push any
volts to any city of any size. And, you can't burn a metal windmill when
it is 30 below zero.
