ENERGY BILL SOLUTION: Eat in the dark, Don't freeze food below 50 degrees, Boil water at 150 degrees

Study truck idling at truck stops; meaning let's fuck the truck drivers their lives aren't tough enough yet. A look at the total energy bill before Congress in both houses show a mountain of subsidies and buried in there you will find the detailed plan to repair the system. The repair of the grid is not what Congress has been dealing with. To sum it up: every environmental idea has a payoff, all industries falling into the enviro line up gets a payoff, and everybody who wants to support this stuff is crying for a payoff too. Power suppliers and transmission line builders get no profits to build anything.

THE BILL DIRECTS THE DOE TO: (Go here for the extra long version in PDF)
Have standards on ceiling fans, refrigerators, and vending machines. You can see the bribes here.
Set standards on furnace fans (fans inside of furnaces).
Label appliances and make Energy Star stuff (see any electricity flowing yet?).
Subsidize a bunch of enviro stuff that amounts to a cornucopia (I think a conrucopia is two shit loads) of subsidies to businesses that produce Politically Correct "energy efficient" things.
Subsidize fuel cells, consumers who USE energy efficient stuff, builders who use, and so on.

See the grid improving yet?

Then there are the usual subsidies for biomass, wind, solar etc. I have a relative using solar: No water over 100 degrees meaning lots of laundry and dishwashing is done off regular power; no a/c use possible (enviros want you to sweat in the dark), and heating is always a challenge in the winter. Making back the costs is impossible, but the government will now give us a subsidy to bury ourselves in this failed technology.

Wind Power: talk about NIMBY. The noise set up by the wind machines is louder than the New York Subway; totally stupid but it's in the energy bill. See the grid repair yet? The bill directs the states to DEMAND less usage; I suppose these envionmental nuts would have us eat in the dark, don't freeze food below 50 degrees because 32 degrees uses too much energy, boil water at 150 degrees instead of the standard 212 degrees, and fun stuff like that. DOE MUST set up a consumer education program to make us save money on HVAC (whatever the hell that is, just hope you don't have it because they won't pay you to cure it)

The Congress also demands that the power companies purchase energy from these horribly expensive "alternate fuel" sources. Raising your rates and not increasing energy flow. They will also subsidize the users of electric vehicles to drive up to the wall socket and soak up a bunch more electricity without providing for an increse in electric power.

Scientists want:

HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS PROGRAM:
NUCLEAR PHYSICS PROGRAM:
BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAM:
BASIC ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM:
FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM:

You can go HERE for detailed info on these

THERE ARE HOWEVER, detailed plans for upgrading the infrastructure, but all this requires profits so that they can be done. Profits are left out. We are prisoners of the environmental lobby and their followers who think it's a sin to commit success. We are bad and don't deserve good things in life.
