#1 It is over. They ran out of other people's money. No one cared about losing a few bucks when money was plentiful. Now they care.

Game over.

#2 Watch the plurality start to like sulpher-laden "dirty oil." Gotta love that Colorado "oil-shale."

#3 Criminy, can't anyone play this game?

Make a deal: for every windmill that the utility company has to underwrite, one oil/NG drilling rig goes in off the eastern shore. Tax proceeds from drilling are used in part to offset the utility tax.

If I were governor I could get that deal done in a week.

#4 They manufactured a global warming scam so they could pay off their buddies in the "green energy" scam. What a load of trash - the lot of em.

#5 Again I am reminded of the Carter years. Tip O'Neal was the real power. The Democrats did the same thing with solar power. To me this is just another program so similar and I bet money and family connections also. They don't put these things in the city because then they would have to share the money generated. I bet it's like the gambling where the state gets 65% off the top. Then the yearly permits and license fees.
