This includes the production of electrical generation. We have wisely set fourth the affairs of gov in business only to regulate necessary inspection of prescribed standards insuring our health and prevention of criminal elements. Using the Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-906, “Power Plant Report” and EIA 920, “Combined Heat and Power Plant Report.” The reader will note hydra power accounts for 6.9% of our power and all other renewable combined only account for 2.3%. This includes solar, wind, tidal, and Geo. I could not find any new hydra projects currently being developed here. Fact is lots of old smaller hydra stations are being taken out as they in part interfere with plastic paddle boats. If it were possible, it is not, to increase this 2.3% tenfold it would still only have us only getting 23% of our energy by renewable. If you think this high percentage is possible I'd like to talk to you about a bridge I have for sale. President Obama has very clearly stated he plans on doubling the amount of energy that could be produced from renewable resources within the next three years totaling 4.6% or an annual increase of only .77 of one present which will not even keep up with our increased needs. This is not effective leadership it is rather Mollycoddling us as children. We Americans have been so dumbed down and misguided by our Legislators with fat money from the lobbies of oil, gas, coal and now it appears solar and wind generation we have now lost our ability to separate fact from fraud. The actual real answer to future electrical generation is safe, safe, super safe nuclear power. Today we get twenty present of our power this way and we have not build a new plant since 1978! This reawakened reality would cost the taxpayer not a dime, this is the business of private business, employ millions, get us off the fossil fuel burning technology of yesterday, could be accomplished in short order and make us energy free as a nation in very short order. Those of you who may find objection to nuclear powers please let me again remind you how we have allowed ourselves to be dumbed down and last of all do some homework on the topic.
