and the damn liberal media for not pointing the finger where it should be.
Once again, environmetalists. Caring about that poor spotted own.
Let's talk California:
PER CAPITA we use the least amount of electricty in the country due to our wonderful climate. but...PER CAPITA our energy prices are by far the highest.
Why? Because we are NOT allowed to build new energy producing plants in the state. Nuclear? Hell no, efficient, but expensive oil? NO WAY, Coal? Heads would roll. Instead we get to build tiny peaker plants that run off of natural gas and cost a fortune to run. We drive up prices because we steal all available Nucealr and coal power from Nevada, Utah, Arizona, etc. and we suck the hydro power dry from the Northwest. What has happened lately? Energy usage has gone WAY up...but production levels have remained constant because no one can build new efficient plants.
This past weekend energy loads were up 10,000MWs from this same time last year. Last year people were talking about record energy usage around 40GW for California ISO. This past weekend we were reaching above 50GW. That's enough to send Marty McFly back to the future 45 times.
Society is so stupid. Let them suffer then.
