In Delaware, each electric utility is required to buy 25 percent of its power from renewable sources by 2025.

Who was the goofball who put that in place?

Rep. John Kowalko, D-Newark, said he doesn't see much of a chance for success and said the programs have been helpful in supporting renewable energy and green jobs. "I believe it's just posturing."

Kowalko learned all he knows about energy sweeping up the parking lot at Motiva refinery.

Well, the good people of Delaware have been sending Biden back to Washington since 1973 to represent them.

Now they either have no ‘sense’ or just don’t want him hanging around.

No matter the reason, Either way, WE lose.

Funny they chose that headline, but “green” is the new “red”.

EPA is putting Bio Mass energy producers on notice for a complete change in their rules, in 2011.

Investors are backing away—& another place for creating energy & getting rid of landfill is going to be scuttled.

EPA needs to be abolished.

See, it is possible to put in some small clue as to what the post is about.

And all the Democratic faithful - union workers with no hope of jobs returning and inner city blacks trapped in generational poverty - keep electing more and more emocrats.

God, I hate this state. If I could afford it, I’d GIVE my house away, just to leave. Oh well, the way we’re going, there won’t be any takers at a giveaway.

In 2008 Missouri voters approved a ballot proposition for a similar program for 15% green electricity. It only applied to investor owned utilities not municipal owned utilities.

In 2010 the utilities that were affected were seeking answers to the question "what is green electricity"? To the best of my knowledge they have not yet filed lawsuits.

Missouri legislators have threaten to gut the clean-energy initiative when they convene in January 2011.

Multi-millionaire jack Markell stuck solar panels on his house before being elected governor and reaped all the tax credits available— corporate welfare anyone?

Huh? I work for a plant that can burn limited biomass and the powers-that-be are leaning toward using MORE biomass. Do you know something we don't?

You need to do a goggle search of renewable energy mandate, just to see what is going on around the country.

Actually, the stupid scams of RGGI and DECS were voted in during midnight sessions by both parties with few , if any dessenting votes. Talk about a state legislature being stuck on stupid....

A while back, I looked at ads for solar panels, and a commonality was
that most of the companies were based in Delaware. Including
the Beyond Petroleum division.

A very similar policy is in place in Washington state. The best part is, almost all of our power comes from hydro, but it is classified as NON-renewable energy.
