The partisan scapegoating of global warming has baited
political and allied business opportunists with loose money to promote very
expensive “renewable” and “sustainable” energy projects – most of which fail
cost/benefit analyses. For example, new “fracking” to massively increase
petroleum fuels replaces recent renewable energy projects
on a cost basis alone.
Myopic and unsustainable government mandates to
control questionable climate
threats inflate consumer costs and cause electric power shortfalls. The California Energy
Commission’s green/renewable energy obsessions mandate California's electric
utility companies to use new low-carbon renewable energy to produce 33 percent
of their electric power by 2020…….But, it has to pay the cost of impacts to the
endangered Desert tortoise, and those poor desert birds that get toasted when
flying through the high-energy solar array........ For comparison, building a
conventional electric power plant fired by fracked natural gas would cost about
$1,000 per megawatt of electric power generated, a fraction of the $5,500 per
megawatt that Ivanpah will cost…..To Read More….
