Not against green efforts, but make sure the COMPLETE process is ready to handle and dispose. And for gosh sakes, let the market efficiently figure it out, sure won't be our Congress.

The problem is that Congress decides which uneconomical forms of so called green energy get the label of “green”, and subsequently get supported on the backs of taxpayers/ratepayers to make it falsely appear to be both green and economically competitive.
I am all for “green” energy if it is truly green and economically viable without subsidies, unfortunately very little if any of that actually exists. Meanwhile, “green washing” runs rampant, and is contributing to the cost of goods and increasing the inflation rate.
