So what happens to the tax dollars politicians’ seize from power companies when we convert from mining based energy to solar and wind? They will go nuts and try to devise ways to tax the electricity individuals produce for themselves. I'm actually all for solar and wind. I keep up with solar and know we now have the technology to produce electricity at comparable rates to that of the local power company. I see solar as a means to cutting off from the grid and not needing the govt. oversight. <br> <br> But for them, think about how many jobs will be lost from coal and gas. Its more than people realize as I am originally from the hills of WV. What will happen when they all hit unemployment because we don't need their coal for electricity (Obama wants to bankrupt) and the enviro-weenies won't let them turn coal to diesel? How will the politicians handle it? How will they make up the tax dollars lost from the workers and the electric company? <br> <br> They never think these things through and let the market decide. How long till we finally bankrupt the Federal Govt? When it happens, can we either return all power back to state and local like our founding fathers wanted it? Or, can we just split it up, (NE, Left Coast, and the rest) and see who comes out on top?<br> <br> Newt has it right; we can either be Silicon Valley, or Detroit. We elected Detroit.
