>>Is an EPA mandate at the national level to generate 28% of our electrical power from solar panels and wind turbines (with roughly two-thirds of that coming from wind) any less wrong? :)
You're asking somebody who lives where 80% of electricity comes from renewable energy. Having to increase to 28%?! Oh, the horror. Run, Chicken Little! Run!
OK, sorry, being flip! But lets not catastrophize.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
