DOUG H said...Not true sir. I have friends in LA who's rates were not effected while DWP was selling juice WELL above average.

You are saying the same thing...rates that are not effected is another way of saying rates were at historic levels. DWP selling juice WELL above average is another way of saying the marginal power from the most inefficient plants...ie the juice DWP sold was the most expensive juice. Juice made from high priced gas in inefficient plants simply costs more and that is the juice they sold to the state.

Let's have him tarred and feathered... That clearly is the only thing that will make you happy.

A responsible energy policy will make me happy. I have a lot of $ invested in oil and I want it to be around a long time. I wish I kept the article...someone compared time frames using increased rates of energy use in the five percent range vs using our existing resources at the present rate of consumption vs a small decrease in the rate of consumption. The conclusions were dramatic. Increased rates of consumption depleted oil resources in the twentyish year time frame. A decreased rate of consumption extended use out a hundred years or so.

IMO a responsible energy plan would have efficiency and conservation as a primary component. Instead our friend the VP seems to have completely missed mark with respect to the demand side of the equation. I believe his feet should be held to the fire.

That's my opinion and it ought'a be yours:)
