This is of course an amazing political flag waving event and needs to be done. I am concerned that the exceptable value is by switching to natural gas our goals can be realized. Right now the Searles Valley/Trona ACE Congen plant is building the gas line and doing the retro fit for ng2. The corresponding demand for these fuels are expected to raise the planets temp at a more rapid rate than the current equations. Not to be a hesser and spoil sport but shouldn't this story have a value added feature that includes greater local funding for passives? What about the OC, where I live, that has not weaned off the addiction and continues with pre-2005 logic? Down here; SCE has yet to sponsor a true end user passive program aimed at the consumer and elects to engage it's Cal Energy Commission responsiblities with huge high tech passive systems in the Majave and then shove the electric down a decaying grid. This in turn promotes a captialist 'fish fry' of local solar installation firms where the real demand has always been on the consumers rooftop thus saddling the rate payer with mortgaged future energy use. I'm seeing a 'bubble' on the horizon. Sorry again to be a hesser but I do not think there is a capitalist way out of this equation. Thanks friends for listen'in. dm
