Notice how Democrat Luddites love windmills, till they are put near where they live? Just ask Ted Kennedy.
Or ask the Luddites in California stopping windmills. Then ask those stopping the development in the Mojave Desert of solar panels.
"Take small hydroelectric facilities. (Big dams, by state law, are not considered renewable, though they generate no carbon dioxide.) A 2005 California Energy Commission study identified nearly 1,000 megawatts of potential small hydro projects in the rural north - enough to meet Redding's peak use with plenty to spare for Shasta Lake and Anderson - but the Chico State report dryly notes, "The development of much of this capacity is constrained by environmental considerations."
In English, we'd say the rivers will run uphill before the fish and water-quality cops would allow anyone to build those projects. Indeed, the momentum is all toward tearing dams out, not building new hydroelectric turbines."
Want to use biomass? Don't touch the trees.
No oil, coal or nuclear either--what is left? Nothing, just hot air coming from dishonest people.
The "greens" are not green, they are naysayers pretending to like green power.
