[QUOTE="105Coues, post: 2956444, member: 65989"] I agree that we need to look at all cost effective options. I have been in the power industry a long time and I can tell u this. The industry used to have to be innovative and provide the lowest cost energy for the consumer. Now it is mandated green energy is dispatched first if available no matter what the cost. This cost is what you and I pay. Our electric and gas bills increased just under 30% this year. If your state hasn't it is coming. In addition, all this green power is heavily subsidized and we as taxpayers pay that too. As far as the windmills go, extremely inefficient and maintenance intensive. If it were not for the subsidies using our taxpayer money, I don't think any would exist except maybe on the coast where it blows like heck all the time. [/QUOTE]
