In Houston, green energy is priced almost the same as fossil-fuel based energy:
Green Mountain Energy is offering Texas electricity consumers an environmentally friendly service at a rate matching that of Reliant Energy — a sign of a growing interest in green energy and the rising price of traditionally produced power.
Touted as a “pollution free” plan, Green Mountain Energy gets the power it sells from wind turbines and hydroelectric plants and will cost about 11.1 cents per kilowatt-hour, the same price current Reliant Energy customers are paying.
Again, it is you that is playing fast and loose with the facts. How the hell do I get labeled as a troll by the owner of this site when idiots like you are allowed to roam free and spout BS incessantly?[/quote]
That is from 2004 and Green mountain uses 90%+ hydro power. Hydro power is from dams. As in Hoover Dam. So if hydropower is green, then Hoover Dam is green and Las Vegas can scream to the clouds about how green they are…
The Sierria Club can lump it because Lake Powell is thereby Green and every other dam up and down the West is green!
As for the 500,000 jobs, well, when they originally came out with the bil, they claimed 50,000 jobs. Then the fight came on, the economy got bad and all of a sudden, they have government findings sayings 500,000! jobs. No wait, a million jobs! No, 2 million jobs!
Look, look everybody. Look at all where doing to create jobs!
