3. California imports plenty of hyper expensive "green energy" from other states. Not only is it expensive to produce, it's expensive to transport, and the transport from long distances starts more fires.
Yep, once again, we have a Liberal complaining about the ramifications of Liberal policies. Next, PJ will complain about Chicago violence. Um, sorry....it's all wonderful there.
1) Boilerman's is full of shit. He thinks the solar panels on your roof are farther away than the coal plant in the next county. And he refutes his own point when he says power plants are built close to consumption while simultaneously pointing out they import accross state lines. I cant help him with that. I'll just point and laugh.
Power plants are not built near consumption. They are built near the source of fuel. Thats why the states that export the most electricity are near coal reserves and oil refineries.
I wont ask Bouilerman how Pensylvania's fossil fuel electricity gets exported (because its not by power lines obviously) I'm sure he's got a friend who can give us the real story.

2)Boilerman is full of shit. California is the biggest state. So this is another instance where our resident conservatives pretend they dont know what "per capita" means and why its relevant when you compare California to South Dakota.
3) Boilerman is full of shit. Most of California's imported electricty comes from hydroelectric sources ....thats the Hoover Damn and others of its ilk. And thats the cheapest electricity in the country.
California's imported electricty
You ever notice how I back up my posts with real data and Boilerman doesnt? Thats how you know he's full of shit.
