Here’s to our National Grid and the Interstate Commerce Act

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 It also continues to pour subsidies to coal plants outside of Ohio that have yet to be rescinded even though the bill has been leveraged on bribes, kickbacks and absolute corruption.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.
