Happy Tuesday, Coal Fighters! Opponents of clean energy are quick to tell you the myth of how expensive energy efficiency, solar, and wind are. What they are really worried about is how clean energy causes the price of dirty energy to decrease when fossil fuels make their most profits. Thanks to LA Beyond Coal Campaign Volunteer Leader Kent Minault for first bringing this concept to our attention. Today's inspiration is from Cleantechnicahttp://cleantechnica.com/2014/07/20/fossil-fuel-industry-hates-wind-power/.
Thank you for your time and consideration, Spike
