With his previous support of the global warming crew, I’m sure electing Romney is not going to help matters. Maybe a few northeastern state blackouts and consumer rebellion on increasing energy costs will convince them that wind and solar power is not the solution.
As for my area in SE NM, all of our electric plants are natural gas powered and the source is right under or adjacent to their facilities. However the EPA is after the coal powered plants in the Four Corners area of northwest NM and has rejected a state emissions control plan in favor of a much more stringent and costly plan supported, of course, by the environutters.
The thing that's most upsetting is the way the eco-nazis and the EPA are going after fracking, they won't be satisfied until it's stopped.
