and as you know (4.00 / 2)

I just have a lot of trouble understanding the visceral hostility of so many nuke proponents against wind (not talking about you in particular, as you have been generally precise in your arguments about different technologies)

Re: and as you know (none / 1)

In the US, they are often vying for an artificially constrained defined pool of money, especially under PAYGO rules and the Senate and House committee systems. Under feed-in tariffs, that source of conflict would be gone, but there would still be the others.

They are complementary, of course, in terms of their mutual benefit from long haul transcontinental grid to grid "Electricity Superhighways" but there is enough legacy of conflict that the complementarity on that front cannot be tapped into very easily.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
