Consider how long Bryson, Peace, Harvey Rosenfeld, Nettie Hoge, and Davis have been in bed together, 20 years? Wouldn't YOU as a Republican love to expose this long standing gambit (extending over decades) of creating a shortage by funding NGO lawsuits against non-fossil fuel power companies and cashing in on the shortage to force "conservation" and play carbon credits to "help the underdeveloped countries"? Think of the NRDC shutdown of Rancho Seco, the Sierra Club nimby suits agains Diablo Canyon, the games being played by rafters over flow rates through hydro dams, the shutdown of forestry that could create biomass, the outrageous price that MUST be paid to wind and solar power generators, and the particulate and NOx regulations that concentrate virtually ALL electrical production into one resource: natural gas. Meanwhile they expand the demand for natural gas as much as possible by increasing the fraction of MTBE required in reformulated gasoline (it lowers mileage almost half as much as the amount that is added, so there has to be a net loss of energy by mandating it). Needless to say there are no new pipelines either. Viola! A shortage; and the price of gas goes through the roof. Souprise, sureprize, so prise!
Ahhhh........ This makes sense. Yes exposing NRDC, Sierra Club, et. al. would be wonderful, if the media will publish the story.
OK, I stand corrected, this make political sense, as opposed to legal or economic sense!
They're been trying to shut down Diablo Canyon for 25 years, and are still at it.
