War On Wind

H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 says that a “renewable energy credit” represents one megawatt of energy generated using renewable resources. It reminds me of “carbon credits” and it is basically just as pointless…. A utility company will probably just build a bunch of wind turbines and get enough of this “renewable energy credit” things to just go and burn coal and power America. It will increase your energy bills. Why? Wind turbines are not cheap. The company has to pay for them so they can get some these “renewable energy credit” things. They will still burn the same amount of fuel and use the same power plants, so they will need more money to buy all the wind mills and land. The massive amount of land. So yeah, you are going to get nice, expensive, energy bills because of this. Don’t expect them all at once, though. But up to and by 2020, hope you have some deeper pockets.

There plan is absolutely ludicrous. They claim it is a plan; it is not a plan though. It basically says “Hey. Look. We want 100% clean energy in less than ten years. Now do it.” It is absolutely impossible. The only clean energy that works and does not devastate the environment is nuclear, biomass, and geothermal. None of the other options work. Hydroelectric (the giant dams) kill fish, especially salmon. But the fact that they think that we can actually replace all our power plants with “clean energy” is quite funny, really. They must know it is basically impossible. We would need years just to build a power plant. We could use 100% geothermal, nuclear, and biomass to power America but it would take decades.
