Ohio wind setbacks (2014) have interrupted a “normal” Christmas for people not only in Ohio but those on the national grid.
Remember Texas of
another sort. With the coldest Christmas this side of the Solar
cycle, people
in Ohio are being asked to cut back on energy usage with the
possibility of outages.
With the inauguration of a
national grid
unification program, we are all or will be interconnected.
Failure of politics in Ohio to recognize a national progressive
energy strategy in lieu of fossil fuel emphasis makes us all pay more
and we have been paying.
Ohio HB6, the biggest statewide
corruption ever, is
still being prosecuted. It also continues to pour subsidies to
coal plants outside of Ohio that have yet to be rescinded even though
the bill has been leveraged on bribes,
kickbacks and absolute corruption.
Consider
California’s recently
passed legislation, California’s philosophical energy crisis,
denying solar grid ties their fair share of energy dollars, killing
any incentive to add solar to their homes. The ignorant rebirth of
Diablo or any wack-a-mole nuclear renaissance is not going save
us.
We need interstate commerce act enforcement.
If
people are tied to the grid with solar then it is in everyone’s
interest connected to the grid and should be encouraged with
unfeigned severity. The climate isn’t going to change dodging these
politics. Fossil fuel’s literal grip on our necks must end. Rooftop
Solar and all grid tied alternative energy sources should be freed
from unjust financial infringement, especially from those with the
current energy monopolies.
Remember in whose hands the
U.S. house will be in in January. Will it keep going the way of Cong
(coal, oil, nukes gas)?
It’s up to us, our thoughts and
of course, our actions to steer this, our earth-ship in the right
direction.
