PG saw a story about an online poll, “how progressive are you”. After hearing Neal Boortz mock progressive, (it might be the next liberal), this poll looked like it might be fun to check out.
The poll is sponsored by a site called “Americanprogress.org”. PG decided to look around a bit, to see what he was getting into here. There are lots of advocacy groups with misleading names. The slogan of “Center for American Progress”…”Progressive Ideas for a Strong, Just, and Free America” … could go either red or blue. A further bit of reading seems to place this site in with the Mother Jones crowd.
A link on the home page led to a page headlined “It’s Easy Being Green: The Solar Surge in Colorado”. It seems as though Colorado has a law requiring a percentage of the commercially generated power in the state to be generated from renewable sources. People can install solar panels on their homes, and sell the excess energy back to the grid.
Recently in Georgia, there was a debate about allowing Georgia Power to bill customers for a nuclear power plant while it is being built. The implication was that nuclear power…with all of its environmental and big government problems…was the only solution available. People in Colorado have a different attitude.
Maybe if we took the billions of dollars that people are so happy to invest in nukes, and install solar panels with the money, that we could generate just as much power.
