So How's That Great Solar Rebate Doing With Phasing Out Connecticut's Use of Dangerous

[NNadir]

Fossil Fuels in Connecticut's electrical generation?

I was in Connecticut, and I could swear that those smokestacks were still putting out dangerous fossil fuel waste, but, just http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/international/iealf/tableh1co2.xls">100 or so billion tons ago, um, whoops, I mean 4 and half years ago, I learned to my surprise that http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=115x20983">Homeowners warm up to solar power.

So how's that working out? Are we saved by the solar vision yet?

As of 2007, it seemed not to have worked out all that well - but of course I'm biased - since I doubt the received revelation from the anti-nuke authorities of the holy writ of the blessed solar "soon to be completive with the grid" faith that um, http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/st_profiles/sept05ct.xls">729,839 is bigger than 2,153,135, the 729,839 (MWh) figure representing the weeny amount of renewable electricity produced in Connecticut in 2007, and the 2,153,135 (MWh) being the weeny amount of renewable electricity produced in 2000.

They must have shut a garbage incinerator up there.

Connecticut's electric power consumption was 33,171,209 MWh, of which 16,386,142 MWh was produced by nuclear energy. Nuclear energy was not responsible for not a single loss of life in Connecticut in 2007.

The fastest growing electricity generating fuel in Connecticut, from the figures in the link is dangerous natural gas. There are no known means for storing the waste of the dangerous natural gas burning in Connecticut, no permanent repositories planned, and no means of preventing dangerous natural gas waste leaks into the environment.

Dangerous natural gas waste does not decay, nor does it come to equilibrium, but will continue to increase in volume and mass for as long as dangerous natural gas plants are allowed to operate.
