Why waste money on commercials saying you will be telling us something
in the future?

I have something to say......I will be saying it in the next few
weeks.


BTW it will be.............I want you tax payers to pay for the grid I
need so I can start selling you wind power instead of oil.


He wants to build wind farms. Using his own, and investor, money. It won't
cost the taxpayer anything - it will cost the consumer something like
$3.00/month to pay for the transmission lines.

Not in Texas, though. Texas has its own electrical grid. It's not connected
to the national grid. This means that one or two levels of regulatory
approval are not necessary to build transmission towers.

Still, to build transmission lines from the wind farms to where the power
will be needed will require rights-of-way. Because of fuddy-duddies, this
will probably require imminent domain, court cases, new state laws,
pay-offs, and mostly, time.
