    Argh. Lip service to energy efficiency since it's his own FHFA economy-sucking-vampire De Marco who is preventing PACE loans from being widely available for people who want to improve the efficiency of their homes and install rooftop solar. Get us...

    Mr. Hambler is absolutely correct, and it is laughably disingenuous for Big Energy apologists to pretend that killing off the raptor and bat populations (for thousands of miles around) won't lead to enormous upsurges in disease vectors such as rodents...
  • Comment
    The utilities really do have some nerve complaining about wealth redistribution (even feigning concern for low-income ratepayers!) when they are gouging all of us every day by blocking the only successful renewable energy policy in the world in favor of...

    This is a good, if agonizingly slow start. Of course, especially in the case of financing rooftop solar, on-bill repayment would be exponentially better for everyone if it were coupled with a generous feed in tariff that the utility could...

    They could probably double those numbers if they use the "biomass" of slaughtered avian species for combined heat and power! You can't just kill a bunch of animals, spew a bunch of GHGs from cement and steel and transmission, destroy...
  • Comment
    aaaaahhhh, good ole Chevron/BP/StatOil/Morgan Stanley (aka Bright Source), holding up their cardboard signs "will kill for cash." never mind that we could produce more and better quality solar power for less money from within our built environment, much faster and...

    Gee, First Solar, you are just now - after destroying thousands and thousands of acres of healthy wilderness to scoop up billions of taxpayer dollars - realizing that PV is modular? Some of us have been saying this for years...
  • Comment
    Both the previous commenters are (intentionally?) ignoring the devastating impacts that LADWP has caused on eagle populations with it's absolutely cutting-edge "new" technology at "Pine Tree Wind Farm" - higher kill rates on a per-turbine basis than Altamont. It is...

    Uh, PG+E, if you want to count rooftop solar towards the 33% RPS, why don't you support German style Feed in Tariffs so you are purchasing the electricity (often for lower prices than you are buying Big Wind, Big Gas...

    Wow, imagine if the hundreds of millions of dollars CA ratepayers have WASTED on market manipulation, plus the hundreds of millions of dollars CA ratepayers have WASTED on San Onofre had been spent on a tiny, reliable, feed in tariff...
  • Comment
    We saw what a total farce the "stakeholder" process was in the completely bungled RETI mess, where one embarassingly unqualified person from Sierra Club and another equally unqualified person from NRDC claimed to be representing 100% of conservationists, biologists, homeowners,...
  • Comment
    Excellent points, and I love the graphic. Want to remind people of another important point about German style FITS, which is that the "subsidized" feed in tariff cash flows straight into the pockets of regular families and small businesses right...
