"While those apposing alternative energy politically, here is yet another example why the current economics in U.S. is forcing the hand of many companies to leave." Duh..it's called wages and competition. Most solar panels that are labor intensive are made in China with labor rates 1/5th or less the US rates, and no expensive MA gov't mandated benefits packages. Insurance rates for health care are some of the...

I'll take that to actually mean 'I'll be a troll and try to keep getting a rise out of Ben'. Harm to ecosystems and dirty streams don't matter huh? You're truncating my statement and arguments to get a cheap shot in. I actually responded to every one of your points, you just chose to ignore them. If you scroll back you will also see that I mention that presumably the local people affected have gotten some...

I mention that presumably the local people affected have gotten some economic benefit out of the damage. That is a large assumption that is not born out by reality in many situations. If I dump pollution into the air or water and profit from it, then it's the people downstream or downwind who suffer the harm, not necessarily me. Some states, like WV, make certain sacrifices to support certain industries. And that doesn't necessarily...

Only free enterprise brings 'innovation' to 'production' and 'profit'. That is why it exists. Who said anything about the government? I'm thinking of the X-prize competitions. It would be nice to see some more work along those lines. When I say "we" my thought is of the people, not the government. Along that line, I'm watching the current vehicular X-prize competition.

Its the typical boom and bust cycle. Those that got in early got their plants built inexpensively and made good money while corn prices were down and gas prices rose. If they paid down their loans and built some equity and some reserves, they can probably weather the thinner margins for a while. But once they started making money, capital investment flowed in from everywhere to build lots of plants. Construction costs went up by abt 50%. And...

Green jobs are a fallacy that people with little understanding of economics fall for because their favorite politician told them so. At best you are moving jobs around the energy generation sector within the country. In this case we are apparently moving them out of country, assuming the power the wind turbines replace is coal or natural gas power. At worst you are taking jobs from ...

Sounds like it is $3 billion worth of smart meters, which if electric companies were on the ball they could get consumers to pick up the tab for them by showing them how their bill could go down, although I'm not sure any residential customers actually have the option now...

RE can help and I'm glad it's being used, but the real viability question is how to feed the tuna. If we're just taking from one source to give to another, what is the net gain?
