Lets go Green !!!

There is no "Artificial Demand" for grid improvements. There is massive demand due to new power plants opening and massive amounts of alt energy installations. That is not going to change. Our grid is a joke. Its old and prone to failure and any way to increase its efficiency is not only good for the environment but good for business.

And seriously I am wondering that the surprise is about. Is this not the same as Boeing supporting the military buying its aircraft or oil firms campaigning for opening up tar sands and offshore drilling more?

And yes I fully support mandates because many businesses are scared to look a few years ahead. They assumed too much that market forces would keep oil at just above 100USD and they got their butts handed to them with hyper expensive transportation fuels. Green tech developments are not just important for Al Gore and greenies or polar bears. They are a major part of national security and national economy in a crisis.

For instance the US Armed forces are the ones mainly pushing Algae oil tech. The only alternative to them to get away from fossil oil is Gas to Liquids or Coal to liquids which are known as massively expensive alternatives that belch Co2 like crazy. The Air force depends on years of fuel to keep its buffs flying but a company often just thinks in quarters.
