I am almost done. Whew -- sorry.

So now we are going to beef up the national power grid. That will perpetuate the system of wasteful power plants. We can say its about wind power, but that will never amount to much. They cost too much and really the wind rarely comes up to fullfill the "capacity" of these things. ( We played that game in the 1970s and those windmills mostly sit idle today.)

Maybe if we call it a "smart grid" people will not figure out what a dumb system it all is.
