There was an interesting piece by Duane Dichiara in the Flash Report yesterday (http://www.flashreport.org/blog.php?postID=2008022020060501) that spoke of the need for transmission in southern California. As I have commented in previous postings, I don’t see how we can achieve the GHG reduction goals that are mandated if we fail to secure the necessary transmission that the grid will need to allow for the delivery of the green energy.
So on one hand we have the environmentalist movement crying for more green and on the other, those same folks are fighting the very mechanisms that would allow for the delivery of what they are asking for!
Time for the NIMBYists to get in touch with reality – to Dichiara’s point about maybe they want to go back to the days of living by “candlelight” – candles emit carbon, so we can’t go there!
