Laws are magic

Billy notes:

Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a requirement that utilities obtain one-third of the state’s electricity from renewable sources.

Excellent! Perhaps the governor should sign a bill that bans cancer and hunger.

    Great! Next they’ll pass a law saying we have to harness energy from unicorn farts.

    Anybody making book on when the rolling blackouts start?

    And make pi = 3.000000 to make my arithmetic simpler.

    Coal IS renewable, so is oil. It is created slowly, but it’s process of creation is ongoing, so more is being created all the time. Hell, I was taught THAT in grade school in the 1950’s.

    Maybe what Governor Moonbeam meant is to embrace coal-fired generation…

    Heh, That’s what I thought when I heard of that law.

    No doubt more electricity providers will be moving out of state and letting their present plants wear out and fail. Bet they will love those rolling blackouts in SF and LA.

    Guess what the utilities will do: cut back on the non-green production until it matches the 2 to 1 requirements. I’ll bet the rolling blackouts Kevin mentioned will be 80% blackout, and 20% power.

    Hell, with the high-price of electricity here rolling blackouts start voluntarily! I’ve already begun going around the house turning-off and un-plugging every non-essential and including the TiVo and TV. Now I’m like my Dad.

    Is this the place where I get to point out that whales are a renewable resource?

    Mr. Brown, “Rofl” is my favorite brand of mayo. Salute.
    Grand pianos are renewable too, and that’s what they’re stoking the boiler with. Boy, that redwood burns smoky!

    They did that crap here in Washington too. Instead here they disallowed the inclusion of Hydro power. Cause you know since 90% of our power out here is hydro anyway.

    Remember the people making the decisions and writing the laws have no clue how reality works.

    I have some friends in CA who are probably celebrating this as the first step towards… I dunno, some kinda hippy style utopia. Poor bastards don’t know what’s about to hit ’em.

    Wood is Renewable, right? I see there’s a whole bunch of Sequoias and Redwoods up in Northern Cali that could be logged and put into Boilers to generate Steam. So what if they take 300 years to grow back? The People’s Republic will just set up the Bureau of Tree Preserving and have 3,000 Managers and Supervisors on the Payroll to make sure that 100 Earth Firsters can guard the seedlings.

    But remember that it’s the anti-intellectual conservatives and Republicans who are waging the war on science.

    Man, Les stole my thunder. Convert the power plants over to wood, that’ll learn the hippies.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
