Op-Ed Columnist - Bailout (and Buildup) - NYTimes.com
Thomas is wringing his hands because gasoline prices are falling. Please tell us, Thomas, what you think the 'correct' price should be for the 'green' future you advocate.
I agree that we need to move much, much more of our energy to renewable sources under our control, but that mix MUST include nuclear. You include it in your ideas, but unless you are willing to advocate strongly for that, all the rest, to use a term from an energy newsletter I receive, are merely 'piddle power.'
If an energy source does not pay its own way over the long term, it won't work. Governments cannot be expected to subsidize the energy industry forever. People should pay for energy like any other purchase, not through a tax.
