Weeell...
Instead of the Making Work Pay foolishness, why doesn't the government just offer grants to individual homeowners and businesses to install their own power gen. capacity? Solar PV, Geothermal heat pumps, solar water heating, etc. Or at least budget it for efficiency upgrades and the costs related to that. Removing old knob-and-tube wiring in flat-roof attic crawlspaces and rewiring with modern service so that celluse insulation can be installed? That's about a 6000 USD cost right there. The whole tax cut deal will just encourage people to go out and buy more useless junk.

Gotta start sometime. I'd be all over this program if it were available in MO. Especially since Ameren UE decided to go ahead with a 9 BILLION USD addition to it's Callaway County nuke station. The less I have to pay UE, the better. Read it and weep. <http://www.stlbeacon.org/missouri_issues/will_nuclear_power_expand_in_missouri_how_will_it_be_paid_for_>

Bingo!
Props to you, scatter! There's company called Tri-Gen housed in an old Union Electric coal-fired plant on the riverfront just north of downtown St. Louis. They use trigen technology to provide the steam for the loop which feeds most of the buildings in the DT area. The old power plant is a very pretty, albiet dirty, structure, too.

Pompey Road, that suggestion is f***ing brilliant! Talk about a powerful visual image. Oh, and Joe, it's time to take your lithium now.

Gasp...
I-I-I think, I mean, I may be in agreement with John Bailo. He says more input by human citizens/taxpayers, and Russ explains why that outcome is desirable. Grist I love.
