Stirling Energy Systems and Infinia are very vague about the price for a reason. They’re totally non-competitive with current methods of generating electricity.

It’s a stunt. It’s green propaganda. It won’t survive without government subsidy.

Cancel it now. Save some energy.

The Peripheral Canal – which has never been built – also has been called a giant boondoggle, a blight on the environment and an open faucet to drain water from Northern California to Southern California. In reality, it’s just a big canal, like many others that cross our state and country.

What’s important is how we use the canal and the power line. The power line and the canal are merely conduits for resources that human civilization needs to survive. Whether we use these conduits in an environmentally sound way is up to us.

If we drain away all the fresh water from our rivers or rely only on dirty coal-fired power plants for electrons, we’re doomed. But, if we don’t build vital infrastructure for water and electricity just because we’re afraid we might misuse it, we’re also doomed.

Beyond the affect on Stirling, the renewable energy community, including Californians for Renewable Energy, are happy to see transmission lines for renewable energy projects approved, period.

This is simply not true.

This basically gives Sempra a golden ticket to their vast fossil fuel resources in Mexico and Indonesia.

It is a sad day indeed.
