The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[OakesCS]

most of the article isn’t as bad as the part u copied.

One of the things I’m left curious about is: “do the regulations in states mandating particular sources of electricity apply only to generation within that state’s borders?”

I c lots of windmills on the TX side of the NM/TX border but lots of gas separating plants and gas fired electric plants on the NM side.

I suspect this is similar to what CA did in 1970s and 80s when they were happy to take electricity produced from coal but the plants had to be in Utah or Nevada. Similarly MA gets a good fraction of its electricity from Canadian sources that many liberal folks wouldn’t count as renewable

The numbers can look much better to some political constituencies when the full truth isn’t divulged
