more than $1Billion more taxpayer dollars to solar firms net 52 permanent jobs

You obviously have never heard of Smart Growth which among other things is dedicated to discouraging urban sprawl by NOT building enough roads to meet the demand.

It was a loan that Obama knew would go bad while he was doing it.[/QUOTE]

1st of all smart growth is not picking one or the other as you claimed

2nd theres no evidence obama had anything directly to do with it, or evidence that anyone knew it would go bad.

 

Urban sprawl or solar firms? Which one are we talking about here? *checks thread title*..

That sounds like a left handed plot, to me.

Did they give all the tax payers money to their campaign donors or what?

 

Your statement is quite odd, given that the much ballyhooed nuclear industry isn't going to build a single nuclear plant without a minimum half trillion in government loan and liability guarantees.

The solar loan guarantees, which cost nothing to do, are trivial compared to nuclear's.

 

Your pricing for SCE is quite misleading.

The bottom very limited usage Tier 1 pricing which is enough power for a VERY frugal one bedroom apartment with minimal or no air conditioning use, is a base rate of $.08 per kWh, but it actually is $.13 per kWh with delivery etc. costs.

Very quickly a user starts paying about $.25 kWh for Tier 2 (if you usae any air conditioning in your apartment), and a normal homeowner in a single family house easily reaches Tier 3 usage pricing which gets you paying almost $.34 per kWh.

Just like Germany's price. Except in the USA, the fossil fuel companies have NO fears of losing their massive profits at the environment's and people's health expense.

 

He's a Commie...that is the way he was raised. That is all he knows. He thinks he is right...Gawd help us!!! We can't take another 5 years of this (*)(*)(*)(*).

 

What a bunch of stupid buzzwords. All Bignuke and Bigcarbon schills can do is start screaming "liberal" or "commie" when faced with the facts about how very very expensive in total costs [not just the ones they eek out to the public] that these dirty energy producers cost us all.

They figure if they scream loud and long enough, all the competition will go away. That worked in the 20th Century. But we're done with the horse and buggy. We're ready to make steam turn the same turbines the dirty guys use, only with the sun and its magnified rays. Duh. We should've been doing this 50 years ago.

Necessity cures stupid eventually I guess. Enjoy your melting ice caps and 120 degree Summers on the East Coast.. ugh. and all that humidity? I remember Summers in DC at just 85F and humid. Thought I was going to pass out every day. 120F must have been simply beyond belief.
