Energy sprawl?
Watch for the greens to oppose wind, solar and biofuels projects because of the size of the projects’ geographic footprints. The greens call it “energy sprawl.”
The greens prefer energy rationing to renewables. They may use the term “efficiency,” but like “sustainable,” it’s merely a euphemism for “no growth.”

Cash for renewable clunkers
August 31, 2009
The Wall Street Journal
reports how Wall Street wind investors get a 30% cash rebate on the building of renewable energy facilities in addition to accelerated depreciation deductions — with no government spending cap on the program.
A spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) said:
“We are concerned that this may evolve into a cash-for-clunkers version 2.0.”
