Dig in your heels indeed. And get ready to open your wallets. So-called green energy is expensive!
The residents of Texas are beginning to find out exactly how expensive it really is as all those thousands of wind turbines start coming online. Our state legislature mandated a few years ago that a certain percentage of our electricity has to come from a renewable, non-polluting resource. And wind is about our only viable option. So, as the cost of oil and natural gas come way down, our electric rates are still going up, because we're being forced to utilize wind generated electricity.
Off the Porch and lovin' it...
"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC
