Lol should anyone be surprised? The super-majority Republicans are bought and paid for by ALEC. It’s nothing more than a grifter organization at this point, designed to prop up dying industries by keeping the general populous poor and sick.
Behold the consistency of the Republicans … the free market can fix health care but we need government intervention in energy policy…
What ever… move to California and pay 10x what we do for electricity. Rich or poor. You move this state away from coal the poor will not be able to afford it. Especially in the winter. Go ahead loot pillage and plunder. Like you have. 4-5.00 a gallon for gas its all coming lefties.
Homeless will be 20% greater just wait and see.
CA pay more for several reasons, among them an old grid that needs constant repairs and has ot be shut down to avoid fires. This proposal smacks of bribery from the coal companies and their ilk paid to the politicians. It is typically Backwards Indiana. Here’s a quote for you, Craig: “…the reality that several Midwestern and Plains states now get more than 25% of their electricity from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, with no compromise to reliability or affordability.” I know reality is no longer a given with Trumpsters, but notice that last word in the quote – affordability. Even the utilities don’t want to keep the coal plants running.
Natural gas prices are driving the market. It’s cheaper for everyone over coal.
Get your facts straight Randy !
Can you spell corruption?
Here’s a fact: my rooftop solar array installed in 2016 produces more electricity than I use. I pay nothing to the power company for electricity, just a $13/month connection fee. My installation investment cost will be paid for in a few years; the array will produce electricity for many more years. With solar technology getting cheaper and more efficient, it is now cheaper than coal and about the same as natural gas. Utility-scale solar and wind is cheaper and safer and sustainable. It’s the smart source of power. The power producers know it, evidenced by their move to renewables. To stick with coal is evidence of both bad business and being in the pocket of the coal lobby.
BEAUTIFUL CLEAN COAL
Family of 4 making less than 100k a year can’t afford solar.
Its a huge up front cost. Id love for you to prove you have solar. Less than .01 percent of people in Indianapolis do.
I don’t have to prove anything to you, rude Craig T. Fact: my 5 KW array cost $15K in 2016 (before federal rebate). Is that huge? At the time, I pulled down a whopping $55K per annum before taxes. Does that make me a plutocrat? I would guess such an array costs less today. I live in a neighborhood of modest houses. A neighbor down the street also installed solar last year. Other neighbors have inquired. Bottom line: many middle-class households can afford to install solar. Sadly true: only a few hundred city households have installed solar, but it’s not because it’s prohibitively expensive.
