But... But... I thought the Green Economy was the future? What about all of those Green Jobs? I don't understand. Obama promised us...

It doesn’t matter what’s cheapest. I thought we’re “saving the planet” here!??

You Liberals say we MUST use wind and solar, so you’re damwell gonna use it too and pay more for it just like you expect the rest of us to do!

We need Federally mandated wind power care! ( Damn peasants don’t know what’s good for them!)

Not only is it too expensive, but evidently it’s more expensive than other “green power,” which I’m sure is already more expensive and unreliable than most.

But presumably they get paid by hapless utilities that are still more stuck on coal and dirty power than they are. I have read that our Vermont utility was being paid by someone in Massachusetts because they use landfill methane, but the payments were reduced this year as the other utilities catch up.

So they need to buy designated green power. Just preferably not the most expensive green power.

How could this happen unless someone is using more than their fair share of the wind and driving up the cost!!

If electric companies could find a cheaper wayon their own to produce electricity from wind and solar, in a FREE MARKET it would have been done and by now have driven the coal and gas power plants out of business.

FREE MARKET RULES!

Rule 1: Keep leftists away from math, science, engineering and economics. It is way, way, WAY beyond their diminutive ability to comprehend.

OK, I give up! I hate to ask a dumb question, and I fancy myself a pretty fair student of science, but just where does all that unused power go? Is it just never produced and what’s being utilized at half is the potential for creating power?

There’s only one solution when the free market runs into your ecoreligion:

OUTLAW PRICES!

The watermelon rule is proved again: Green on the outside, red on the inside.
