A SURPRISE TO ALL

Not really.

"It was all I could do not to jump up and down and yell 'I told you so! I told you so!'" said Linda Webb, an outspoken opponent of Perrin Ranch. "But we were a little more restrained than that."

So Arizona Public Service is likely to turn to solar in the coming years to meet a state mandate that it generate 15 percent of its energy from renewables by 2025. APS gets about 5 percent of its electricity from renewable sources today.

APS should have sued.

Where does the state get the power to tell an investor owned company how to run their business?

Sounds like an unconstitutional law to me.

Every time some legislature comes out with this crap it should be sued all the way to the USSC. The USSC should be drowning in these suits.

[”Right now, it looks like solar — photovoltaic — is the lowest-cost resource,” said Gordon Samuel, who plans future energy supplies at APS.]

Gordon needs to check out coal. He might be pleasantly surprised.

Hmmm - sounds like these Wind Power numbers, were, um,

Google: “14000 wind turbines” and this is what you get!
“The US experience with wind farms has left over 14,000 wind turbines abandoned and slowly decaying, in most instances the turbines are just left as symbols of a dying Climate Religion, nowhere have the Green Environmentalists appeared to clear up their mess or even complain about the abandoned wind farms.” It’s simple, No subsides, no wind farms.

"That was quite a surprise to all of us," he said.

I can’t believe it, but people are still pushing to get these wind farms built in the Great Lakes.

"Right now, it looks like solar -- photovoltaic -- is the lowest-cost resource

The hell it is. Look at your figures again, but this time with no subsidies, and use real-world generation figures rather than label figures.

I hate the wind farms. I've lived in Arizona all my life and the very idea that someone would attempt that is laughable. Talk about destroying the earth! The noise and vibration is incredibly destructive and very little energy is produced.

Why does the name Sam Lovejoy pop into my head at moments like this?
