Sierra Club touches on insanity
Nov 12th, 2009 by David Anderson
One of the top needs for America is a sustainable power infrastructure especially if we want to use renewable resources and domestic power sources. So why is the Sierra Club opposing the multistate transmission linefrom West Virginia to Maryland? Is it because the original source is from a coal plant or are they just against transmitting electricity? The fact is once the line is on the grid, power can come from anywhere in the area.
There is an anti-energy insanity that caused rolling brownouts early in the decade out West (along with Enron manipulating it). It is seen in energy rationing proposals. Opposition to power plants, and crazy fears about transmission lines. The radicals refuse to understand the ramifications of their actions in the real world. That is par for their course. The insanity is that some regulators actually cater to them. Maryland dismissed the application for now on a technicality despite federal law trying to encourage upgrading the infrastructure.
Keep it up and we will enjoy being unemployed in the dark.
The Sierra Club of Misfits and Wackos opposes anything that doesn’t have four legs and eats grass.
