Interesting Point Mr. Paul but how about some $17 a barrel oil?
Please click on article title for original article.
I agree with Mr. Paul that some regulations seem to get ahead of the technology.
But without the push we sometimes are just absolutely complacent.
We do have a energy wasting problem in this country and the cheapest way to solve it is negawatts not megawatts.
If you want to build more centralized power and upgrade to smart grids you are looking at years and years of planing, permiting, building and commisioning (All at bank interest while nothing is coming out the end by the way.)
Some claims...
Currently, electricity is 100 times more costly for the infrastructure than direct fuel systems.
In fact a quarter of all the development capital in the world goes to electrification.
Electricity is much more heavily subsidized than direct fuels -- roughly eleven to one in the United States.
Decreasing demand is cheap in comparison and is why your utility is willing to pay you to do it.xx
There are claims that the low hanging fruit that still exists in conservation can be had at $17 per barrel of oil energy equivalent. Even with oil at it's un-speculatized price of say $75.00 per barrel that's some cheap eats.
