Obama's Green Energy Plan

ELECTRICITY RATIONING ...

"Eventually, we can get to a system where an electric company will be able to hold back some of the power so that maybe your air conditioner won't operate at its peak, you'll still be able to cool your house, but that'll be a savings to the consumer. And so [we will be] giving people and companies a role in the management of how we use electricity."

It’s for our own good, and it will save us money Carol Browner told US News and World Report:

BTW: If your air conditioner doesn't have enough power to operate properly, if it doesn't turn itself off, it burns out. You cannot operate on less power than what something needs. And it's just ignorant to suggest that.

Yes We Can

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. As if we haven't had enough Kennedy dopes to last us several lifetimes, another tries for the gold ring.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. says the Goracle’s challenge to the United States to generate its electricity entirely from renewable sources within 10 years is not fast enough.

In solar energy resplendent border states of Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas, setting up solar plants would prove cheaper than building more conventional sources of energy, he said. “These are the Saudi Arabias of sun.”

“We can build those plants anywhere, we can build them cheaper than nuke plants, cheaper than old coal plants, and cheaper than oil plants, and faster than any of them,” said Kennedy a member of the U.S. political dynasty and a senior attorney for the environmental group Natural Resources Defense Council.

So why the need for government subsidies? Probably because the costs don't work out, by a lot. Same thing that stops billionaire T. Boone Pickens. Otherwise, what stops you from building your sun fired power plants, your wind fired power plants and selling cheap electricity to all comers.

The notion of alternative energy is transparent, it obviously will cost more, a lot more.

I think you know the answer.
