He had already gotten literature from the Air Force, which he had with him. Instead of running this young man down, get the facts. So please pray for Ricky, that his life isn't ruined because of all this. Money out window California's energy shortage likely will mean more shortages here. The immediate generating capacity that will be built in that state will burn natural gas.
Gas turbines are quick to pass regulatory hurdles and to bring online.
The price of Kansas gas will go up while reserves are drawn down to meet their summer air-conditioning needs. We will, in turn, enter next winter with the same shortages we have today. The solution is to improve the efficiency of energy use in our economy. Nebraska had the foresight to invest its petroleum overcharge money in a revolving loan fund that pays for energy efficiency, which in turn increases jobs in the insulating and weatherization industry. I would encourage business interests, low-income advocates, social justice groups, AARP, environmental groups and trade organizations to ask legislators to learn from this winter's experience.
