I think my point was lost in the discussion, but to me it's fairly
simple. Wouldn't it be better to fund education and outreach projects
instead of buying more "stuff?"
I think small scale renewable energy is great. If you are already using
little energy, go ahead and install PV and thermal and microhydro if you
can and reduce the load on the grid. But when it's statewide and tax
dollars being discussed, I think educating those using >1kW is a far
better use of resources ($515M in this case) than producing renewable
energy.
