The man who heads the US Department of Entropy has been at
the helm for just over a year. I kind of
like Dr. Moniz as he is a larger than life Alfred E Neuman. This wiki links talks to Dr. Moniz’s
accomplishments.
Dr. Moniz posts on Facebook all the fluffy good news on
energy that the Obama Administration wants us to see. He is the face of the administration for the
Obama swing away from coal to greener energy.
Unfortunately for Dr. Moniz his results have been about as good as that of
the Veteran’s Affairs Secretary and the Whitehouse Press Secretary. Dr. Moniz has overseen the first increase in
CO2 emissions in the US in years. As
much as he quicksteps to renewable energy coal power generation is coming back
based on marginal generation costs.
My lost Congressman Mr. Huffman has proposed legislation in
the US House to prevent Taxpayer dollars from being spent to export coal power
generation technology. To quote the
green genius “If we’re serious
about fighting global warming, we need to ensure that our government isn’t
working at cross-purposes with itself—we can’t build a clean energy future at
home while dumping billions of American dollars into dirty coal boondoggles
abroad,”
Yeah the man who brought us the BLOOMDOGGLE in California is
now worried about coal boondoggles abroad.
Mr. Huffman I suggest you call Dr. Moniz and ask him about the “coal
boondoggle” going on right here in this country. Mr. Huffman is running a little scared now
that I have told him that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) put
an end to Huffman’s Assembly Bill 864 in Sacramento after the CPUC determined
that in 2010 too much SGIP money was going to Bloom Energy. I quote from Scott Murtishaw the subject matter
expert at CPUC on the SGIP who wrote this in an email to me on May 22, 2014.
“3) As for AB 864,
the CPUC's leg position speaks for itself. We were in the thick of the
proceeding to implant the SGIP overhaul per SB 412 and we didn't want any more
legislative micromanagement of the program design during that session. In the
end, we kept the steeply declining incentives for capacity over 1 MW and we
imposed a cap on the total amount of funds any one company could receive per
year, basically to prevent a repeat of 2010 when Bloom was dominating the
applications submitted.”
OK we now have the CPUC agreeing that Huffman’s AB 864 was a
Bloomdoggle.
I have to say if we were not headed to total economic and
ecologic disaster reading Mad Government would be as funny as reading “what me
worry”. But we simply cannot afford the
incompetence of Dr. Moniz and the hypocrisy of Mr. Huffman. Perhaps Ernie and Jared could follow Eric
and Jay example and disappear. Some high
school logic Ernie is to Eric as Jarod is to Jay.
Mr. Huffman has been asked for the 101st time by
me for a ten minute face to face meeting to simply discuss two questions that
are as follows:
Did AT&T
and or Mr. Darius Anderson lobby him to introduce AB 864?
And why did
he and the CPUC have such different views on AB 864?
I know Mr. Huffman fears the Green Machine so I told him to
bring 10 of his staff, 10 of his supporters, and 10 reporters from the Santa
Rosa Press Democrat (Darius Anderson’s newspaper) and all I will bring is a
recorder to record the answers to the two question listed above. Of course like Jay Carney, Jared Huffman is
bobbing and weaving and blaming it on Bush and the GOP. I simply can’t wait for Mr. Huffman and 30
others on his side get to tell us all what went on Sacramento to give Bloom
Energy $257 million of ratepayers’ money under the SGIP BLOOMDOGGLE. Maybe to Jared SGIP stood for Send Gore
Increased Payments? To me SGIP stands for State Government Is Pathetic.
