Why is the cost of energy so high?
"A northern California energy company will pay $25 million to relocate and protect 25 threatened desert tortoises before it can start building a massive solar power plant in the northeastern part of the county near the Nevada border.
And while calculating the environmental impact is more complicated than saying "$1 million per tortoise," the case illustrates the tremendous complexity - and high cost - of environmental laws that come into play when building just about anything in California."
In the end, YOU pay the $25 million.
Now you know why the California Great Depression will continue. Government is out of control, angry yet?
