I said on a previous thread:

There are a lot of commercials on radio for and against HB6 (maybe on TV too, but I have a fast forward button on it). The pro side talks about deregulation, jobs and how wonderful HB6, but never says what it actually does. The anti side talks solely about bailing out the "out of state" owner of nuclear plants.

Personally I lean towards against, but that is my default position on laws: good legislation can be passed later, but bad legislation is nealy impossible to repeal later. I hate the pro-side's information free ads which imply good things will happen including kittens becoming fluffier and friendlier.

After looking at that bill I lean more towards against. 126 pages of references to previous laws. What a nightmare.

What it comes down to is that natural gas has gotten so cheap that it beats the hell out of nuclear, coal, solar and wind. And a lot of powerful people have money in those four and are going to want to pick our pockets to bail them all out. It might just end up cheaper getting a full time natural gas generator inside the house and cutting off from the electrical grid entirely because all the little subsidies and add-ons in the electrical bills will nibble us to death.
