In fact, they never die. The only problem is that these alternative sources are utter madness. That s an area equal to Connecticut, Delaware and Massachusetts combined. The strange thing is that enviros are not pushing for real time pricing for electricity to reduce peak demand. They would rather have price caps and then layer on conservation mandates and subsidies to try to bring demand in balance with supply.
Government is bigger and markets are smaller that way.
It is the socialist approach to providing electricity that increases governmental power while opposing the expansion of the marketplace for electrical power. Lies, just lies. California went this route and now is in desperate need of new electrical generation plants. Its needs are draining the resources of neighboring states. Just as the Greens fought to insure that our gas and home heating prices would rise, thinking that if the price gets too steep, Americans would be forced to embrace conservation by government mandate, they continue to wreak economic havoc upon this nation.
