Re: Of course we need new power plants, and a serious upgrade to many that are still in service. >>> Yes... but what type of power plants? >>> I agree with the Cheney report that more decentralized and localized power production is desirable --- because we don't have enough interconnections between the local grids to share power efficiently. >>> Net Metering allows small (even individual home owners) to SELL their power back into the grid... making photoelectric, small wind systems, and many other forms of production ECONOMIC. >>> We don't need massive subsidies to old line producers --- we merely need a level playing field to allow the free market to work. The government should force the removal of impediments to free market power production.
