Sure when it comes to the windmills, but apparently his buddy said they "outperformed all other types of electricity production".

IMO either he misrepresented the original comment or his buddy was twisting up some stat.

Damn, son you spittin flames at me baw!

You got me about being a dolt but I squeezed by middle school Algebra and will likely fail the MBA in Finance that I’m about to wrap up. And yes, I am clueless about lots of things.

So... how does Louisiana remain in compliance with green energy output standards passed by the DOE? Further, choosing to use your latter suggestion is certainly a more effective use of land but I’d like to know how a state that remains out of compliance with green energy standards continues to operate without the federal funding it requires to operate due to being one of the heaviest recipients of federal dollars.

What would you rather use the land for? Wanna flood it and make another crawfish field? You wanna make a rice farm?

The land isn’t being used for any other purpose. Secondly, it’s up to the utility to either build a facility as you’re suggesting. If the utility must do it, then they’re going to pass the cost down to the end user/s via additional cost per kWh and hidden fees. Why not allow a solar farm to be built on a plot of land that isn’t being used and allow the customer to purchase that power at the generation offset rate which will likely be a purchase option offered by the utility?
