George Michael agrees…oh wait.
Anyhow, it’s absolutely impossible for base and peak demands to be drawn from “green” sources.
My own personal inside take is that utility companies shouldn’t be allowed to be public and traded. “This fiscal quarter” and “our shareholders” causes myopia and damages future conditions.
So would the state motor vehicle department run the utilities, or maybe the state highway department? If its not private, it’s government. Thats why the utility companies were regulated. They no longer are, in most states, even if there are government functionaries with the name.
Careful, you’ll be accused of being a socialist for thinking that let alone pitting it in writing. Not that I necessarily disagree with you.
Like roads and waterways, some things are too vital to our function to be left int he hands of profit motives. In just one example of this, look at Austin and the no good alternative route to private toll roads. I guess they still have those.
Of course, the profit motive does get things done fast. Amazing to see how fast BW8 NWest in Houston got built compared to what TxDOT did on their own in other sections. That whole NW segment got built faster than any other one part.
