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.
