"Here is the scam. The Arizona Legislature is mandating that the state’s power companies generate 15% of their power from renewable sources by 2025 (never mind for the moment that this will never happen once the consumer sees the price for being green). Now one of the power companies already generates 3% of its power from the hydro system we discussed and the environmental lobby feels like that gives it a head start on meeting its goal. Ergo, hydropower should be defined as a non-renewable resource. Go figure. You do the right thing and they don’t even say thanks. They just pile on a bit more.
I don’t want to get into a debate or write a rant about the whole global warming mania but this sort of logic shows how much this whole issue is about politics and power and how little it is about truly doing something about CO2...Whether or not a small utility in Arizona needs to up its commitment to renewable energy sources by 3% because it already gets 3% of its power from renewables will not make a bit of difference to the planet’s atmosphere. It will contribute mightily to the sense of cynicism the larger debate in engendering."
