This seems to be the correct one.

Notwithstanding their zeal to save the planet, the Chinese are commissioning one coal fired power plant per week. So, in the end what will they have accomplished? These actions will merely drive up our energy costs making us poorer and less competitive than trading partners like China and India all the while making us more dependant on foreign sources of oil...Oil is king for another quarter century, at least! Solar is a fantasy that I have been hearing about since I was a 1970s school kid. If it's so damn good, why isnt here already?

We are the 4th largest producer of hydroelectric power behind Washington, California, and Oregon. We also have The New York Power Authority (NYPA), "America's largest state-owned power organization." Do you think that might have something to do with our high rates? I agree that ethanol is stupid. I would like to see solar and wind do to electric rates what competition did for the phone companies and their rates. Although for right now, deregulation is just driving up prices in the states that have gone down that road and I am against it. Thanks for listening.
