    Isn’t tax dodging a felony?
    “Any person who willfully attempts to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof: Shall be imprisoned not more than 5 years.”
    Why,,, YES it IS!!!

    At least I paid every last dime of my deinquent taxes. Speaking of self righteous moralists, I see you are still in default to Nevada County for your property taxes.
    (Which seems ironic for a guys who’s one claim to fame was being a Nevada County Supervisor)

    This has turned into a gusher
    “In a report by The New Yorker, multiple locals claimed they remember Moore being banned from The Gadsen Mall when he was the assistant district attorney to Etowah County “because he repeatedly badgered teen-age girls.” Two of the women who accused Moore of dating them when they were teens and he in his 30’s said they met him at that mall.
    The claims come from a variety of sources — “five members of the local legal community, two cops who worked in the town, several people who hung out at the mall in the early eighties, and a number of former mall employees” — and many said they’d heard “rumors” about why he wasn’t welcome at the mall. A number spoke on the condition of anonymity, though a few went on record.
    Greg Legat, a former employee at the mall, recalled an interaction with J.D. Thomas, a Gadsen police officer and security guard who told him to keep an eye out for Moore, who was already banned by the time Legat began working at the mall in 1981. He said he believes Moore was banned from the mall around 1979.
    “‘If you see Roy, let me know. He’s banned from the mall.’” Legat told The New Yorker of his exchange with the security guard. “’If you see Moore here, tell me. I’ll take care of him.’” Legat also said his supervisor at the mall told him to watch out for Moore……..”

    Wind and solar is just a simple matter of storage, eh? Great. You just turned a two car garage into a one car garage. Got any other grand ideas?
    1) The whole problem of solar as it stands currently is it just too damn bulky. Racks of batteries in the garage like it Is some backup to keep Comcast up or the ICU going at the hospital when the power goes out for too long? Yep, it’s all too bulky right now. Panels need to be lighter, at least 40-60% smaller and twice the efficiently for starters, batteries thin as a pizza stacked comfortly in the laundry closet like Secretary of State Clinnton’s private server, and….as an option,through some curves on the solar panel design. Yeah, there goes the extra room in the garage. Call in “storage”, I call it those big heavy VCR’s when the first came out or those old bulky heavy microwave nukers that had more chrome on them than an old Hudson. Tell me when I can open my eyes and you’can yell “Surprise!”

    Ever complete a sentence without major errors of substance, spelling or grammar, Steve?
    I know engineers in the business. Do tell about interconnection report you bought and all the power you’ve pimped. Was that for PV at your home?
    I’d be overjoyed if the true levelized costs were as you claim. They aren’t, and the grid does require fossil fuels to spin turbines that aren’t generating much but can’t be turned off lest a major PV plant has a dip because of an errant cloud, or the wind stopped blowing.
    Your renewable hysteria requires being CO2 phobic. Reductions at all costs. Deal with the problems after the fact. But CO2 isn’t dirty and it isn’t driving the climate.

    Yeah, Greg I am on a multitude of devices, and although spelling is importnat to me, I post withut spell checking, so occasionally I make mistakes.
    A more important question is how is it possible that someone who claims to have such strong scientific background is so completely devoid of critical thinking skills?
    I have never stated that there would be NO role for fossil fuels, perhaps the best role is as back-up for peaking to reach minimum baseload power needs in the near future until storage comes on line, marrying the economic and environmental benefit of renewables with the barest need for carbon based fuels. I also never said that some fossil fueld turbines would be required to spin, the reality is that it will require a lot less, and thus less emissions. That point is indicitive of how you make your case–you create a false statement or position for your opponent then knock it down–no critical thinking skills reuired at all, merely a juvenile high school debating trick
    You may quibble over the definition of a subsidy and split hairs, but the facts are that policy driving renewables coupled with priming the pump with funding for innovation, has driven the price of renewables down to below the cost of fossil fuels. That is good for consumers and good for the environment. It makes communities more resilient in the face of extreme weather events, and reduces the risk of interruption by distributing generation across a borader set of assets.
    You may also discount expereince, but I talk with people in the investor owned and publically owned utility industry almost every day. I track CEC and CPUC reports and research. I work with renewable power suppliers on siting and locating renewable assets in the Sierra. I track regulatory policy and its implementation. I have a staff of 22 people fully half of whom are engeged in work around climate adaptation and mitigation and energy policy. I have much more expereince here than you do. I have never seen you at a single hearing, conference, release of a study, or engaged in any conversation whatsoever on policy at the local or state level. In short my experience trumps your ego.
    While you guys are contemplating your shriveling navels California is likey to be hitting a 50% renewable level by 2020. We are already at 29% and it is likely that with projects under construction now we will hit 50% by 2020, 10 years earlier than scheduled.
    http://www.energy.ca.gov/renewables/tracking_progress/documents/renewable.pdf
    The amazing thing to me is that you, claiming to be science based, are so caught up in fighting your war on AGW proponents, that you would embrace a technology and power generation source that is clearly so damaging to the environment and out of scale to the small damage some renewables do, that it is literally killing people.
    You are the classic exmpale of the subject of the famous climate change cartoon that asks the question, “What if we create a better world and it’s all a big hoax…”
    In my book you are a nasty, self important, but fundamentally ignorant ideologue who may be well educated but is a complete imbicile in practice. If you went back to your alma mater and made your case the way you make it here all of your science based mentors would shake their heads in shame.

    Oh, my. (read it in a George Takei basso profundo, while you still can… et tu, George?)
    Checking Frisch’s company website, there are 19 not 22 besides him listed as staffers (http://sierrabusiness.org/who-we-are/people/staff, if you have 22 staffers working for you three are missing) and his VP of Climate and Energy has a BA in English Lit from (wait for it) Frisch’s alma mater, ‘Frisco State. And his entire staff is white enough to pass at a Richard Spencer rally.
    The facts are that “renewables” haven’t been driven down in price below that of conventional generation, or the rocket scientists in Sacramento wouldn’t be yelling and swinging a big stick to force the conversions in California. What has been driving down the price is the willingness of the Chinese people to sacrifice their air, water and death rates for workers in order to make money for them. This will not continue ad infinitum, nor will their desire to keep lending the formerly Great State of California more and more money to paper over our profligate spending, but that’s for another time.
