I did a ...As usual Alan you are right on the money. I did a lot of research on solar/wind power a few years back with the idea in mind of generating my own power for my home. Looking at just the enormous cost it became clear that it made no economic sense whatsoever. It would never pay for itself before the system elements would have to be replaced. Solar panels, wind generators, batteries and inverters don't last forever.<br /><br />There is no justification for what the government is forcing utilities to do. The only possible justification for having it at your own home would be so you would have power if the grid ever went down. Given the vulnerability of the grid it may make sense to have some kind of small back up system like that so you can power some lights and a refrigerator, etc. Barring that scenario it's simply not justifiable.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068826847863082966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-85073384150097173212010-08-24T01:14:43.296-07:002010-08-24T01:14:43.296-07:00Alan,

If America had forged ahead years ago with a nuclear electrical power system and told the naysayers, commies and haters of America to shove it, we would be self sufficient in that area today with a clean and dependable power system and could now be developing alternate systems in a sane and rational manner without the huge disruptions and grid failures we are surely confronted with for the foreseeable future. <br />I would like to add that China is now the world leader in nuclear power and they are expected to have built around 22 reactors in the five years ending 2010 and projected to build 132 units after and they have the most aggressive nuclear power expansion program in the world. And Governor Christie wants to spend 7 million on one wind turbine that doesn't produce zip when the wind is calm and will probably end up costing 25 million with union cost overruns and all the graft, corruption, theft and payoffs that are always associated and a part there of anything the government is involved with. If the truth were known, Christie is probably somehow personally gaining from this latest Government rip-off/boondoggle.... Bottom line, he’s just another sorry ass politician looking for a piece of your pie….Pitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490816332773248195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-64430942099653136562010-08-23T15:02:42.994-07:002010-08-23T15:02:42.994-07:00Amen, Rich, and amen!Amen, Rich, and amen!Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-90552425033549767942010-08-23T14:33:20.882-07:002010-08-23T14:33:20.882-07:00Alan,

We have been psychologically prepared to believe that just a few more million will do the job….a job that has not been done in the past and will not do it in the future.<br /><br />Even the greenies realize that wind power is a disaster to birds and bats. If one pesticide killed a fraction of the bats and birds that windmills are killing right now we would hear a scream go up from these people that would send a chill down everyone’s back. And it is all the media’s fault.<br /><br />Being a liar is one thing. For the media to support liars when their job is to destroy lies is another.<br /><br />RichRich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.com
