This can be read as "not content to just piss taxpayer's money away, the state is investing in a fire hose".

Renewable resources meaning, anything but wood.

Great, nuclear power and space power satellites!

Long overdue.

What bullshit.

California's energy problems are simple.

Stop the flow of the millions of Mexicans each year into California and energy supplies will catch up.

ANY legislation from Sher is suspect.

He is an enviro-nazi and his supporters are the same.

This is the same Calif legislature that just sent Arnold a bill that says the ROOFS of houses CANNOT be a "dark" color.

That "dark" color includes SOLAR PANELS!!!! The STATE put up covers in the parking lot at Cal Expo, which are yards and yards of solar panels. Work quite well, providing power for the Expo, while providing shade for parked cars. What do they do with that? Economic incentives have been offered in the past, and they are referring to that again in this article. Pay people to use solar, and then tell them they cannot put the panels on a roof? NUTS, just plain NUTS. The combined I Q of the entire bunch in Sacramento has to be under 3 digits.

These idiots talk out of 7 sides of their mouth all at the same time.

I am very leery of renewables. Wind, in particular, has huge downsides that no one ever wants to discuss. Generous tax credits, accelerated depreciation plans, and state mandates for renewables all work against the consumer in the end (and the environment!).

Very frustrating.
