Dems in California pass law forcing all new electrical power to come from "green energy;" Oooh, wait...

California has been ruled by Democrats for 50 years.  The rat-bastards have such a huge majority in both the House and senate that they can and do pass any law they want.  And with a Democrat governor, anything they pass is signed into law.

Cool, eh comrade?  A recipe for paradise.  Because Democrats/liberals/"progressives" have such great ideas that when you give 'em absolute power, paradise results, eh?

Well, paradise for some, at least:  For lobbyists, and for Dem legislators who retire as millionaires thanks to bribes from...lobbyists.

Let me explain.

Every single Dem politician buys into the notion that a) the planet is warming, dangerously; b) this warming is caused by CO2; c) this "extra," life-threatening CO2 is due entirely to human activity.

The Mainstream Media have shortened the above catechism to "global warming."

Now:  So-called environmentalists have convinced half of the American public--and the entire mainstream media--that CO2 is killing us.  So they've been screaming for decades that what we need is to ban fossil fuels, since they produce CO2 when burned.

By now many of you can probably see where this is going: The environmentalists have convinced every Dem pol that to save the Earth they need to ban anything that produces CO2.  And to the surprise of no one, the pols have discovered that the public buys this, so supporting this gets you re-elected for your entire life.

One of the biggest uses of fossil fuels is to produce electricity.  So is there any way to make electricity without burning coal or natural gas?  Oh, absolutely:  Both hydroelectric (dams) and nuclear power do this.  But amazingly, the people who scream about the planet-killing power of CO2 don't want you to use either of these sources either!

Wait...what?

Yes, really.  Thanks to lobbyists bribing Cali legislators, the newly-passed law mandating "green energy" doesn't allow nuclear or new hydro.  Instead it allows just two sources for electricity: wind and solar.  Which will double the cost of electricity to residents of that shit-hole state.

So to summarize how this wonderful (for the pols) scam works:

1.  Global-warming believers get legislature to pass “renewable energy mandates” decreeing that a certain percentage of electricity production be generated by approved “green" sources.
2.  Ensure that the new law defines “green” as only wind and solar.
3.  Ensure the new law forces utility companies to buy wind and solar, despite the huge cost to consumers.
4.  Pushers of wind and solar make huge profits, hire more lobbyists.
5.  Repeat steps one through four.

And of course there's a consequence of getting a huge percentage of electricity from wind and solar: skyrocketing electric bills for consumers, to pay for the higher cost of the “green” energy.  Some experts say the mandates could double electricity bills on families.

But hey, citizen: It's worth it to save the planet, right?  And of course it’s no one's fault that green energy costs more, right?  Certainly it would be wrong to blame Dem pols for any of this...cuz they jus' wanna save life on Earth!  Yay!!!
