Going Back In Time. This is Energy Week at the White House and Rick Perry has apparently already forgotten how the Texas energy market works. Perry wants to make nuclear cool again and export oil, gas and coal. Keep in mind that a lot of that is already happening with gas export terminals being built and the oil embargo being lifted as part of the solar ITC extension deal. The irony in the comments is that it only appeals to a few donors. Most Americans don’t think that a grid of oil, gas and coal are better than a grid of solar, wind and hydro. Meanwhile, Obama had actual nuclear scientists (good ones too) running the Energy Department.
Paging Kansas SEIA Chapter. Call your office, your State is looking to hurt solar policies.
What’s Going on in NC. Quite frankly, this bill is going to be a typical conglomeration of mediocrity that gets everything twisted in confusion. I’ve never been a fan of these massive omnibus bills that bounce around from one side to the other and don’t actually aim to fix a problem.
