I heard about this on NHPR yesterday. The greenie's plan calls for 100% renewable energy state wide by 2040. Sounds great, but... They did not describe just what they mean by "renewable". At a guess they are talking about wind and solar. Usually the greenies don't consider hydro to be renewable, even though it rains a lot and refills the reservoirs.
They did not explain how we keep the lights on since solar doesn't produce any electricity after the sun goes down. Even up here in the White Mountains, we have long calm spells of no wind. How do the greenies plan to keep the lights on after dark on a calm night? This is important. My furnace doesn't work when the power goes out. That means my pipes freeze in winter. I am not the only electricity user who needs dependable 24/7 electricity.
