That’s not going to go over well here in the PNW. The environmentalists and Democrats want all the dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers torn diwn to save the salmon and steelhead.

Washington won’t even count hydro power as “green energy”.

Basically, Sanders just lifted his entire policy platform from the British Labor Party in the late 40’s. Nothing “progressive” about him at all.

If Bernie wants to federalize electricity production you better buy your own solar panels and windmills for the inevitable blackouts.

Bernie’s plan would result in either brown outs everywhere or no power to the poorest Americans.
