Insane Legislation Requires PA Residents Use 100% Renewable Energy
Right around Earth Day politicians become even nuttier than they usually are. This year is no exception. A truly breathtaking, totally insane pair of bills have just been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature, in observance of Earth Day, that would force all Pennsylvanians to use electricity generated from 100% so-called renewable sources by the year 2050. It's totally preposterous and lunatic--but there you have it. Actually being in your right mind is no longer a requirement for high office--at least in PA. Democrat Rep. Chris Rabb introduced the bill in the PA House, and Democrat-lite (i.e. RINO) Sen. Charles McIlhinney introduced the bill in the PA Senate. Unsurprisingly they're both from the Philadelphia area, where living in the real world doesn't exist. The object of the proposed law is to dump the use of all "fossil fuels" and instead rely on unreliable wind and solar to produce all electricity in the Keystone State. Do you know how much of PA's electricity is produced by wind and solar today? A piddly 2.8%. Nuclear generation is the #1 source of electric in PA at 41%, followed by coal at 29.6% and natural gas at 25%. Do you really, in your heart of hearts, believe PA can generate 100% of its electricity from wind and solar by 2050? It's a fantasy, totally unconnected with reality. Yet that's all we'll hear and read for the next few days until, blessedly, we get past so-called Earth Day...
