Exporting that to a country known for cutting corners and lax regulation sounds like a recipe for disaster.Zanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399642425424116825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915455952193775435.post-16700413259478906212012-09-17T13:58:54.682-07:002012-09-17T13:58:54.682-07:00I have been seeing a lot anti-oil energy advocates...I have been seeing a lot anti-oil energy advocates arguing against a carbon tax lately. I think it is truly no longer on the table.<br /><br />As encouraging as this article is, it ignores or underestimates the costs (in money and time) of upgrading the grid to support a no-carbon energy base. There is no consensus on the best way to upgrade the grid to account for variability in power supply (when the sun isn't shining, wind isn't blowing, etc.) and to handle the increased heavy load of millions of electric cars being charged. There is a lot of infrastructure work to be done.Zanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399642425424116825noreply@blogger.com
