Gee. I guess when you militantly refuse to have nuclear power plants, coal burning plants, pipelines and refineries built in your area, energy rates go up. What a surprise. But don’t worry, once all those wind power generators get going, rates will come down again. Oh, that’s right, rich Nantucket homeowners protested them too so I guess the state is SOL.

It amuses and saddens me simultaneously when I hear Democrat voters maintain the belief that their party is for “the working family” or “the average guy.” Naivete is crippling our nation as much as anything.

I think the only power source that can satisfy Massachusetts is photovoltaics, provided of course that the cost is massively subsidized by someone else. That, or chaining the one percent to stationary bikes to power generators. But I repeat myself.

There are actually several nuclear power plants in MA. But they don’t have coal or refineries, and federal regulations essentially make it impossible for the NE to get gas from Texas. They only way they can get fuel is to have shipped from Europe.

They’ll be freezing in the dark, but their air will be clean.

Also, the Green Theology in CA hates Coal, Nuclear, and all that evil sin.
So instead, they draw their power from Other states who have Coal, Nuclear,
and all that evil sin.

Saving money going green isn't saving money, the Government will make you pay
for not using their grid.

No kidding. I half expect the power company to tell me they are converting their electric plants to electric power.

They have backed themselves into a corner.

Our local is hydro, and then coal. Western Ma is crazy, but not as crazy as those in the eastern part of the state.
