Efficient delivery of electric power does not occur naturally. Contrary to the fundamentalist pantheism that has become a kind of national religion; windmills and solar power cannot provide our growing needs. These needs require generating plants of considerable capacity. Vocal environmentalists and their allies in the media have been very effective at demonizing these plants, even ones producing hydroelectric and geothermal power, as a threat to “the planet.” No new nuclear or coal-fired power plants have been sited during the past two decades. Worse, plants using coal, oil, or nuclear power have been taken off line. This is like shutting down several grocery-store chains and forbidding farmers to grow corn and potatoes, then blaming merchants and the market for the inevitable food shortages and price increases. Professor Reisman accurately points out what the media and politicians seldom mention, that virtually all the new plants that have been sited in California are fueled by natural gas. These plants are more expensive to operate and have increased the demand and price, for natural gas. California’s inadequate pipeline system compounds the problem. pacificresearch.org * * *
