Solar and wind generated electricity cannot exist using current technologies without massive subsidies. Look at the ads for "free" home solar installations and rebates, and you'll only be seeing the tip of the iceberg. Investors looking at prospectus for solar and wind farms can see that there is no profit without massive federal subsidies. In other words, these are not sustainable. Before fleeing California, I was bemused by calls to eliminate all gas powered cars. How do they propose to supply electricity to charge all the battery powered cars that will be needed when that happens when they can't keep the lights on in California? And let's not even mention the looming environmental catastrophy when all those Tesla and other electric car batteries need to be replaced. Now finish the pipelines and secure them from terrorists and hackers until we can develop more rational, economical, feasible alternate energy resources. Tidal power anyone?

We need to invest highly in our electrical grids to modernize them. We also need to invest in more robust charging networks for eletric cars. We need to invest in other forms of energy as well. Ransom wire attacks will keep happening.

Yes Col Joseph Lenertz ! What General Norman Schwarzkopf used to call Bovine Scatology. We need a provision to require a "Truth in Legislation" maybe modeled on Truth-in-Lending. Couple that with another provision that requires all truly controversial bills to be confined narrowly to the advertised purpose. The same applies to the title of the act.
