GUEST,Larry K BS: What the Latest ANWR Vote Means (89* d) RE: BS: What the Latest ANWR Vote Means 22 Apr 05

Sorry- hit the wrong button my mistake:

current cost to produce electricity    under $20 per MW
current cost to produce wind energy          $58 per MW
current cost wind (other states)             $35-$40 MW
current cost biomass                         $45-$50 MW
current cost solar                            $80-$120 MW
small impact hydro                            $80-$120 MW
geothermal                                    none in my state

According to global solutions 76% of all future renewable energy will come from wind farms in the next 15 years.   Right now renewable enrgy is not economical.   I cant ask customers to pay double or triple for electricity from renewable standards.   Renewable energy needs to come down to the $30 MW range to be competitive.   Until then, we will need oil.    Right now, ANWR looks like the best possiblity for oil.

PS:   Just celebrated earth day by planting 4,200 trees in one hour (new guiness world record) along with Atlanta and Seattle.
