Sounds like a good idea. Since California needs more power and has this phobia about building power plants within the state, getting more out of state power is the only solution.
I don't like the plan to get half thru WIND power...that's dorky...needs to be financed properly also.
I noticed these are all Republican Governors in these states.....it is a great plan. Burn the coal at the source and export the smog, build the wind projects along the new transmission lines.
Look for PGE, SCE, LADWP and SCPPA to all complain, as they have an invested interested in the status quo.
Yeah. So we export our problems to other states. Just great.
So the American West has to have smoke plumes across it to provide power for...millions of Mexico's poor in Los Angeles. Wonder who's gonna pay the bill.
Makes all the sense in the world to me. Right. Not.
If California liberals insist on letting the entire Third World live here, then let them deal with the consequences. Build the power plants in Santa Fe Springs or Southgate, the Belly of the Beast. Better yet, West Hollywood or Topanga. You want cheap Third World labor by the millions? Live with the problems. Streisand should have a coal burning plant just upwind from her.
And while I'm on the subject of "people who don't like to live with the problems they cause", why is it that the state that probably has the highest per capita gas consumption on the planet still refuses to let anyone drill off its coastline?
