Color power woes green
Some people are whining about Avista raising their rates again. Why not put the real blame for the high cost of energy on the stupid law we voted in that requires a portion of all our electricity must come from “green” sources? We have to pay way more for energy generated any way other than water power. What demented soul determined water power not to be “green” anyway?
Another shoulder to place blame is directly on Barack Hussein Obama and the Democratic Party. They have declared war on conventional energy sources and limited the ability for the U.S., to get to it while giving billions of dollars to other countries to do so.
Before you go crying the blues about how the big bad power company is gouging you, why not place some of that blame on you for how and whom you voted. Energy is freedom and freedom is on the attack from the left.
We have a “Community Bill of Rights” coming up on the November ballot. Remember their kind of thinking is the real reason behind the high cost of energy. Vote a resounding no. More socialism and left-wing thinking is not what is needed.
