the solar scam

This solar energy subsidy giveaway has got to stop but I’m not surprised to read how the game is played. Venture capitol lobbyists go to state law writers to try and force National Grid to buy any energy they produce at 6 times the going rate for the next 20 years. We pay about .8 cents per kw/h (most normal house cost about $1,200 per year (15,000 kw/h) but they want users to pay .48 cents per hour for their ‘special’ energy. Do you get it? They figure out all the costs, overhead, permitting, payoffs and bonuses for the next twenty years and divide it by 20 years = amount they charge users. All Guaranteed.

The ethanol scam is even better. The government pays farmers to stop growing food and plant corn. Not only is it completely destroying the Mississippi with dangerous chemicals but our own food prices our now rising to compound all our problems. But at least all you idiots believe the earth feels better. The march toward income redistribution continues.
