RINO "Green New Deal" moving in legislature | Eastern North Carolina Now

Move over California.  North Carolina wants to follow your insane energy policies that are sending electric rates through the roof and fueling blackouts.  This time, it is not the Democrats doing it, but the RINOs, who are backed by RINO state House Speaker Tim Moore.

Early in the session, special interest "stakeholders" announced they were putting together an energy bill.  The usual suspects among RINOs who prostitute themselves to Big Solar and Big Wind were involved as were lobbyists for Big Wind, Big Solar, and Duke Power.  Anyone representing the most important "stakeholder", electric customers was shut out.  Duke Power has decided it can make money off of wind and solar subsidies, so they are now in bed with Big Wind and Big Solar, plus as a monopoly they can just pass on the higher rates to their customers.  The result of this backroom dealing among special interests was HB 951, a witches brew of bad energy policy.  Moore and his RNO allies are trying to out-Cooper Roy Cooper.

Some Senate conservatives believe they can reorient this bill in their chamber to cut out the bad parts and add in some good parts.  As a result, many House conservatives are playing a dangerous game of letting HB 951 move forward, hoping the Senate will be able to accomplish that.

This bill is being pushed as an "all of the above" approach advancing gas, solar, and nuclear, but it is solar that is the source most pushed.  And what few bones were thrown to nuclear in the early drafts have been removed, so that there is now nothing concrete to help nuclear, only window dressing.

Gas fares almost as bad in this legislation.  The bill seeks to shut down six coal fired plants even though coal is one of the cheapest and most reliable ways to make electricity.  Only one of those is anticipated to be directly replaced by reliable and cheap gas generation.  There is rubbish about "energy storage", an unproven theory that even globalist Bill Gates says will not work replacing the others.  Energy storage is one of the fantasies of the Green Energy crowd.

One of the sops to Big Solar and Big Wind in HB 951 is gutting the power of local governments to regulate their siting.  It is local governments that can help protect citizens from these environmental disasters, wind farms and solar farms, but the RINOs want to diminish their powers to do that.  

This is a formula for blackouts and high electric rates and it is being pushed on us by the RINO leadership of the NC House.  It is a truly awful bill that needs to be stopped by whatever means possible.  Tim Moore is a traitor to the people of North Carolina, and seems to be little more than a white male version of AOC when it comes to the Green New Deal.

Intermittent wind and solar cannot be relied upon for grid baseload because they only work when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.  They are also more expensive than conventional electricity and produce more toxic waste.
