California has one too....Forgot about the mandate. California has one too.<br /><br />With required use of green energy, why are Solyndra, Evergreen Solar, and SpectraWatt having problems? You can lead a horse to water, but if he finds it cheaper in China . . . .<br /><br />Maybe they need to come up with an Obamacare-like mandate that fines people who don't buy from the above companies. Win-win for politicians and cronies.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about government mandated buying, MR.T.

No market for green technology? Shirley, you ...LOL. No market for green technology? Shirley, you jest. Why, our Oregon government has mandated that 25% of energy be derived from "Green" sources - and hydropower doesn't count.<br /><br />And it's silly to claim that there's no market for light rail. Of course there is - and for streetcars, and other cutting-edge, 19th-century transit. Don't believe me? Talk to Ray LaHood.<br /><br />Now, if you'll excuse me, I've only worked through the upper third of this manure pile.

There's no market for Light Rail. What we have is a bunch of people who think their policies are really brilliant, and that the incentives that they create will allow us to develop a new set of technologies, previously known as the benefits ascribed to our NASA program--things like Velcro®. <br /><br />There is no magical solution to our problems, but there are practical solutions. We just need the will to be practical.<br />.Ten Mile Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030532586953950296noreply@blogger.com
