I wish Republicans could get it. But the Fourth Estate is totally split. Now there’s separate news and facts for Republicans (from Fox, CATO, The Heritage Foundation, WSJ) and for the rest of us.

Their news is so filtered through what the traditional extractive energy industry wants them to know, that they are ignorant, stumbling around the Internet, baffled by contradictory information on sites like this, that are not beholden to the fossil industry.

Great article Susan.

What is important to remember is that something is better than nothing. I am a NJ resident, and our solar production has on average doubled each year since 2001 when the RPS was adopted. A nationwide RPS will help those states that already have RPSs while non-RPS states begin to adopt renewable energy. It will provide new buyers of RECs, strengthening an already strong market (stronger financial markets… that must resonate with Republicans, right?)

Thanks for the writeup.

Well, no; buying credits DOES TOO produce additional clean energy. Look at how NJ has shot to No.2 in solar rooftops by simply allowing residents to sell clean energy credits generated off their roofs. When people can earn money off their roof, they are much more inclined to put solar on it.

And adding 15 new dirty states-full of utilities needing to buy credits or pay 2 cents penalty per every kilowatt-hour – will only increase that push. Note that the bill specifies “distributed” energy as worth 3 credits. Distributed = your roof.

Well, not quite so simple. Under the Bingaman RES, those southern states can just buy credits from RES states, producing no additional renewable generation. BUT the ability of many states to meet their RES’ is jeopardized by low price caps, and the crash in gas prices that makes hitting those caps more likely. Also, the stimulus money and loan guarantees are flowing more slowly than anticipated. Thus, even the weak Bingaman RES makes it much more likely that the state standards actually succeed. And local pressure could make southern utilities buy or build some local renewables, adding to demand. Local presssure could also persuade some RES states not to sell surplus credits. So ther’s several avenues by which it could make a difference. Follow me on twitter: @alannogee

I guess this is good news for the simple fact that many of these states are even moving towards RES, especially the oil and coal states, this something to behold. I think solar is the best way to go, we have technology in place and advancing everyday, if we could only improve on the storage aspect of solar power, we could put coal out of business.
