The reason that we do not want them is because they are not contained to a factory or powerplant, but must be built across large areas affecting many more people.

I have seen the big Solar Energy discussion 30 nyears ago and we're no further along today; why? Costs. Dirty Fuel? Guess what, electricity couldn't be made any cheaper than coal fired power plants...costs. Wind Energy? Even the American Wind Energy Association says the MOST we'll get for electricity is 20%, and that assumes ALL of the wind energy gets transmitted without any line loss. I agree that some forms of "clean energy" needs to be developed, but the way this legislation is proceeding, it will wipe out more manufacturers in America. I believe in what we have not somebodys forecast about "what will be" And what will it do to local companies? This economy still is 22-25% manufacturing with another 22-25% that directy support us. The Administration is trying to cram down too much too fast and on the path to bankrupt the US.

And what will it do to local companies? This economy still is 22-25% manufacturing with another 22-25% that directy support us.
