The growth of Texas is PROOF of that extrasense..
Chaoslillith.. my last 2 paragraphs are in reference to the cost of producing power, there is NO green power that is cost effective thus far, and it is going to be a long while before it ever will be.. Nuke and Hydro are the most dependable, and cheapest forms of power, my reply was also in response to your statement that, and I quote: California and Europe have some of the most stringent environmental laws yet their are still plenty of businesses there. Europe has done a wonderful job of incorporating renewable energy into their daily lives, unquote, (Germany uses a lot more than a few coal fired planets, if I remember correctly one of the largest coal strip mines is in Germany) California is two faced about its power, California is sure are buying vast amounts of its power from Utah (coal fired planets), California has nothing close to what its economy once was, and businesses are still leaving in record numbers, due to socialistic 'legal reform" and heavy taxs and control on business (most of us call it BS), Ca. bonds have a JUNK BOND rating, the same it true for Europe, there are no socialist economies in Europe that are doing well.. the very nature of socialism is not indicative to sound business principles, the proof of this is world wide..
