Ummmm, lack of....wind??
 |
Well... in a way... yes...
As people demand more alternatives forms of energy generation, a larger and larger chunk of the electricy is generated in those ways.  OK...
The problem becomes that FERC and NERC require utilities to have back up generation to feed the loads.  So for every kW generated by wind, there has to be a more conventional form of generation to back it up... |
Is That To Say We Should Never Have Elecrical Power Problems?? |
That's to say that for every renewable generator installed, there's a coal plant somewhere that will pick up the generation.
Green is all about marketing.
I won't live to see the day that another nuke plant is built in this country, even though they'd solve a good chunk of the energy question. |
Hope I live long enough. Our new one up the street should be starting up in the next couple of weeks. "Damn you sure know how to fock things up."-GFR
