    A Commissioner for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission put out a statement that basically says"WTH? I thought we were all in collusion to push the wind industry on people." These people don't get it. They don't make public policy.




    Here's FERC Commissioner Moeller's statement.

    "In my initial dissent in this proceeding, I observed that "[n]ow is not the time for this Commission to begin retreating from its incentive policy on needed transmission lines." And today, if we are going to produce less carbon dioxide when generating electricity, we'll need more transmission lines to move cleaner sources of power to those who need it. In particular, because RITELine will allow power to move from the west to the east, this project can help nuclear and wind power move from the west, where it is produced, to the east, where it is needed.

    "This action thus sets up a collision between two federal agencies that regulate the energy industry. That is, while the Environmental Protection Agency is moving to limit carbon dioxide, which will require more transmission lines, this Commission is changing its policies on transmission incentives in a manner that actually discourages the very transmission that will be needed to satisfy EPA requirements.




    OH, and the United Kingdom is looking at WW II style energy rationing because they can't provide enough electricity with wind. Thanks National Grid.

    I am doing all I can to get off the grid. Free natural gas has helped a lot. My electric use is down 60-70% over last year. I am doing everything I can to avoid being a victim of the EPA.
