The biggest bugaboo in the pending Energy Bill is the requirement for most utility companies to generate 15% of their electricity with renewables by 2020. The objection by SoCo and others (see below) is the cost. Seems like the wind doesn’t blow in the south (nor does the sun shine!?)
Okay. Here’s a compromise. Suppose SoCo really can not meet the 15% requirement by 2020. So, what if Company B, over in TX, reaches 20%. (You seen the windmills going up in TX? Amazing!) So, maybe company B in Texas could sell some credits to poor old lagging SoCo. Is this really so hard?
I presume most of you reading this know how to contact your Senators. If not, here is a link that might help.

Geez, folks. Tell your elected officials to WAKE UP. The rest of the world is really scratching their collective head over our inability to get with the program. This is not about tree hugging anymore! It’s about a way of life that needs to change.
If you are an RVer, and you are reading this, I know you are worried about the new CAFÉ standards. Get over it. RVs will continue to exist. They may change (smaller is good-- see my discussion of my PUC by clicking on the archives!) But we will continue to have RVs IF we have a place to go with them. If we don’t get a handle on this global warming issue soon, you can bet there will be more detrimental changes to our lifestyle than merely the cost of fuel or the size of our rigs.
Be Happy, Stay Safe
