Of course it will and the rest of us will be forced to subsidize it through yet another large tax hike.

.. low income families living in rented apartments are getting stuck footing skyrocketing electric bills. Many can no longer afford to pay for electricity, and so the utilities are cutting off their power.

Ahhh, Socialism is the napalm of today’s Progre$$ivists.. it smells like Victory.. and it leaves a charred remains of a society in its wake.. easily swept up.. all for the love of green.

The lower income or “takers” in society should really understand that the Liberal elites will throw them under the bus before that elite allows their power, standard of living or ideology to be threatened.

“Green” energy isn’t about energy,

it’s about false righteousness.

Who knew the color Green was the key to defusing the legendary sensibility, ingenuity and intelligence of the Germans?

US Intelligence could have used this valuable information in World War II.

Green Power leaves more Germans in the dark than the Hamburg raids.

My trip to Europe showed me that the Auto rental places asked me not to use E10 in the car, and the back country scenery had wind powered generators more abundant than Palm trees in Florida. Packs of 12 plus generators on one large Rapf field was not uncommon. Soon it will be a country of large propellers on the skyline.

"Energy companies should be obligated to offer the first 500 kilowatt-hours per household at a low rate, SPD (social democrat party) faction vice chairman Ulrich Kelber demanded in a strategy paper, which he wants to present to the SPD leaders.”

These socialist are children, they are 5 year olds. They think that just because they wish that something was true that it its true.

Why not just dictate that the first 500 kilo-watt hours are free. Then everyone would be able to have electricity. Well that is until they used up their 500 kilo-watt hours then of course these people still would have no money for the now extremely expensive electricity.

What these children fail to realize it that the utilities still have to pay their creditors. If you give the poor cheap electricity the cost of that electricity is still the same and the difference in the cost of the Cheap electricity for the poor and what the real cost of the electricity has to be diverted to other consumers of electricity and some of that deferred cost will end up on the poor’s bill in raised rates subsequent to the cheap 500 kilo-watt hours. Everyone’s rates will go up including the poor.

The socialist believe that the laws of economics can be dictated by law. Unfortunately for the socialist and us the laws of economics (the market place if you prefer) are just like the laws of physics; they will not be cheated. In the end someone pays and when the government meddles in the market everyone pays more.

Coming to America?/i>

Coming?

30 years ago, when I lived in California, in Monterey, my bill skyrocketed in the summer - instead of going down (our gas and electric were together, so summer = no gas for heat: ergo, bill should go down?)

But it skyrocketed. I could get no explanation. I went to the top and DEMANDED one.

They sent a rep out and 'explained' to me that, in the summer, it cost so much for people to keep their swimming pools heated (Monterey is COLD for summer and pools have to be heated).

"And WHAT does that have to do with ME and MY bill?" I asked. "I have no swimming pool no can I afford one.

"well," says he, "it's really expensive and it wouldn't be fair for them to have to pay it all, so we share the cost."

One more reason I left Kalifornia - 30 years ago.

There was a German FReeper who posted a story couple of weeks ago that Germany had met almost 50% of their electrical demand with solar power for the day. I forget his FReeper name... “Arbeit Macht Frei” or something like that? Why would they be having blackouts with their swell “renewable” energy policies?

The world is full of stupid people who will go along with their government on every single issue even if it means their family has to sit in the dark and do without modern conveniences.
