Texas Town’s Environmental Narcissism. Go full green and win stupid prizes. We can’t wait for the New Green Deal.
Political leaders in a college town in central Texas won wide praise from former Vice President Al Gore and the larger Green Movement when they decided to go “100 percent renewable” seven years ago. Now, however, they are on the defensive over electricity costs that have their residents paying more than $1,000 per household in higher electricity charges over the last four years.
That’s right – $1,219 per household in higher electricity costs for the 71,000 residents of Georgetown, Texas, all thanks to the decision of its Republican mayor, Dale Ross, to launch a bold plan to shift the city’s municipal utility to 100 percent renewable power in 2012 when he was on the city council.

And might I ask how's that cold, broke, and in the dark crap treating these idiots?
My sister lives there. Blue print for why we should NOT do AOC’s stupid crayon drawing of a stupid idea.
10 thumbs up if I could!
There seems to be a lot of Forrest Gump's in politics today. The "I know better" syndrome should be a real mental illness. The wind quits blowing on a really cloudy day, not only do you pay for something you can't get much of, but you get to sit in the dark...
Californians, take note.
Is it any wonder Chuck U Schumer is calling Droopy eyes call for a vote on the New Green Deal and ploy. Chuckles signed on to this foolish plan hoping that he along with all the other dip shits could get by claiming to support it all the while hoping that it would not get a vote. For once Droopy has out smarted all the "smartest" people and forced their hand.
The idea that green energy will provide all the necessary energy needed at a reasonable price is scam and a con. Just another way to inch closer to have complete control of all aspects of our lives. Dumb ASSES
