Solar and wind generated electricity cannot exist using current technologies without massive subsidies. Look at the ads for "free" home solar installations and rebates, and you'll only be seeing the tip of the iceberg. Investors looking at prospectus for solar and wind farms can see that there is no profit without massive federal subsidies. In other words, these are not sustainable. Before fleeing California, I was bemused by calls to eliminate all gas powered cars. How do they propose to supply electricity to charge all the battery powered cars that will be needed when that happens when they can't keep the lights on in California? And let's not even mention the looming environmental catastrophy when all those Tesla and other electric car batteries need to be replaced. Now finish the pipelines and secure them from terrorists and hackers until we can develop more rational, economical, feasible alternate energy resources. Tidal power anyone?

SSG (Join to see) When Lake Mead, Hoover/Boulder Dam’s water source has water available, a few of their water turbines that are on standby - actually turning at 180 RPM, driven by a small amount of current without using any water. Upon a call from Los Angeles wanting more Kilowatts, those ‘dry’ turbines can be ‘wetted’ by the opening of a few valves and electricity can be going to LA in less than 1 minute. @SP5 Jim Curry - Oops, has he also departed RP?

Yes Col Joseph Lenertz ! What General Norman Schwarzkopf used to call Bovine Scatology. We need a provision to require a "Truth in Legislation" maybe modeled on Truth-in-Lending. Couple that with another provision that requires all truly controversial bills to be confined narrowly to the advertised purpose. The same applies to the title of the act.

A lot of effort was made while I was still serving with the National Cyber Protections Teams up until 2019. We were making great relationships with the DOE and other critical infrastructure organizations. I don't know how or whether this effort has continued/matured since I left, but as part of my new role in cybersecurity, my hope is that I can provide proactive cyber security services for organization like these. Since the Biden Admin took over, I have yet to see or hear whether policies have changed within the government cyber world. I do give credit to the Trump admin for enabling us in ways we never were in the past. A lot of improvements took place in the resourcing, policy, authority, and vision compared to what felt like a stand still with the previous admin.
